OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Yahya Abdullah Sabir appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm.* 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.
Citing Wilson v. Seiter, 59 U.S.L.W. 4671 (U.S.1991), the district court denied relief on the grounds that the Defendants, prison officials, were not deliberately indifferent to Sabir's right to practice his religious beliefs. Sabir v. Rollins, No. CA-90-3241-S (D. Md. Nov. 1, 1991). The district court applied the incorrect standard because Seiter applies to allegations of Eighth Amendment violations and no such violations are alleged here. However, Sabir did not establish a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 because he failed to show that Defendants significantly interfered with his constitutional rights
