PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Theodore Harden appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Harden v. Regional Administrator, No. CA-91-722-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 23, 1992). 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
We note that prison regulations created a liberty interest in the right to appeal prison disciplinary decisions, but that Harden had no liberty interest in receiving appeal forms absent a request for those forms. Accordingly, we find that prison officials' failure to provide Harden with such forms did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Olim v. Wakinekoma, 461 U.S. 238, 249 (1983)
