OPINION

PER CURIAM:


In this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988), Harry L. Rizer appeals from the district court's order denying Rizer's Motion for a New Trial following a jury verdict finding no liability on the part of defendants Gillespie, Lohr, LeMasters, Coleman, Kissner and Holland.*  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. Rizer v. Gillespie, No. CA-86-38-E-S (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 26, 1991). 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

 *

A directed verdict was previously granted to defendants Dodrill, Yoho, and Clutter
