US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 865 F.2d 1256 (4th Cir. 1989) Submitted: Nov. 23, 1988. Decided: Jan. 9, 1989

William Billy Barnes, Jr., appellant pro se.

Michael Lowell Heikes (Kramon & Graham, PA), Richard M. Kastendieck (Office of the Attorney General of Maryland).

Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


William Billy Barnes, Jr., a Maryland inmate, appeals from the district court's orders denying relief in four 42 U.S.C. § 1983 cases. Our review of the district court's opinions discloses that these appeals are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Barnes v. Carpenter, C/A No. 84-607-S (D. Md. June 29, 1987); Barnes v. Schaefer, C/A No. 87-2229-S (D. Md. Oct. 28, 1987); Barnes v. Johns, C/A No. 87-2906-S (D. Md. Nov. 2, 1987); Barnes v. Johns, C/A No. 87-2907-S (D. Md. Nov. 2, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
