William Billy Barnes, Jr., appellant pro se.
Michael Lowell Heikes (Kramon & Graham, PA), Richard M. Kastendieck (Office of the Attorney General of Maryland).
Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
William Billy Barnes, Jr., a Maryland inmate, appeals from the district court's orders denying relief in four 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 cases.  Our review of the district court's opinions discloses that these appeals are without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Barnes v. Carpenter, C/A No. 84-607-S (D.Md. June 29, 1987);  Barnes v. Schaefer, C/A No. 87-2229-S (D.Md. Oct. 28, 1987);  Barnes v. Johns, C/A No. 87-2906-S (D.Md. Nov. 2, 1987);  Barnes v. Johns, C/A No. 87-2907-S (D.Md. Nov. 2, 1987).  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.


2
AFFIRMED.
