PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his complaint filed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, 1986 (1994). We

have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting

the magistrate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Rutherford v. Alderman, No. CA-96-617 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 7, 1997).*
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED

    *
        Appellant's "Motion to Supplement Docket" is hereby denied.
