Appellees.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     William F. Allen, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint as frivolous under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (West Supp. 1998).        We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find that this

appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Allen v. Frazier, No. CA-98-

161 (N.D.W. Va. Nov. 17, 1998).        We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                             DISMISSED
