D. Md., 749 F. Supp. 1403.
AFFIRMED.
Before PHILLIPS and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
John Simmons appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.* Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Simmons v. Rollins, CA-88-2150-K (D. Md. Aug. 29, 1990). 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.
None of the other plaintiffs below filed a notice of appeal or signed Simmons's notice of appeal. Further, the plaintiff class did not appeal the district court's order. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed as to all plaintiffs except Simmons. Covington v. Allsbrook, 636 F.2d 63 (4th Cir. 1980), cert. denied, 451 U.S. 914 (1981)
