M.D.N.C.
AFFIRMED.
Before K.K. HALL, PHILLIPS and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Billy Bethea appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal is without merit.*   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Bethea v. Jarvis, C/A No. 88-914-S (M.D.N.C. June 19, 1989).


2
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.


3
AFFIRMED.



*
 Although Bethea cannot bring an action against the administrator of a prison under the theory of respondeat superior, he may file an action against a prison guard if he can show that the guard was deliberately indifferent to his excremental needs
