James L. Merinar, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying re-

lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate

judge's recommendation, and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Merinar v.
Parkersburg Police, No. CA-95-536-6 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 21, 1995). 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.
