Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, District Judge.

(CA-95-744)

Submitted: June 20, 1996 Decided: July 9, 1996

Before HALL, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Roosevelt Taylor, Jr., Dennis Michael Titus, Clarence E. Jones,

Terrance M. Seay, John David Simpson, Gregory Walker, Robert Lee

Conner, Thomas Allen Elkins, Ronald L. Porter, Charles Clarke,

Jimmie Conner, Charles C. Atkins, Paul Lee Martin, Appellants Pro

Se. Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA,

Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).
16

PER CURIAM:

Appellants filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988),

claiming that their Eighth Amendment rights were violated because

they were exposed to histoplasmosis. The district court conducted

a hearing and granted summary judgment in Appellees' favor for the

reasons stated from the bench. Appellants appeal from the court's

order. We have reviewed the record and the district court's statements from the bench. The court properly found that Appellants

failed to show that Appellees were deliberately indifferent to a

risk of infection. See Farmer v. Brennan, ___ U.S. ___, 62 U.S.L.W.

4446, 4448-50 (U.S. June 6, 1994) (No. 92-7247). Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Taylor v. Guillory,

No. CA-95-744 (E.D. Va. Mar. 1, 1996). 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.
