AFFIRMED.

Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gray v. Smith, No. CA-95-862-1 (S.D.W. Va. Oct. 23, 1995). 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.
