William Rundahl Coleman, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, for Appellees.
W.D. Va.
AFFIRMED
Before WIDENER and HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Michael S. Edwards appeals from the district court's orders denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinions discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* Edwards v. Hershey, No. CA-90-691-R (W.D. Va. Jan. 7 & Apr. 16, 1992). 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
We deny Edwards' motion for preparation of a transcript at government expense because his appeal does not present a substantial question. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1988)
