PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal from the district court's orders denying re-

lief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaints. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Ellis v. Secretary of Public Safety, No. CA-96-268-JFM (D.
Md. Feb. 29, 1996); Boblett v. Secretary of Public Safety, No. CA-

96-490-JFM (D. Md. Mar. 1, 1996); Strong v. Glendening, No. CA-95-
3369-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 29, 1996). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
