John Lee Worsham, Jeffrey Steven Kersey, Clarence Julius Chew, Hercules Williams, Joseph Colvin, Marvin Williamson, Frederick Johnson, Clifton Anderson, Milton Moore, David P. Brown, Appellants Pro Se.  John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Stephanie Judith Lane-Weber, Assistant Attorney General, Carmen Mercedes Shepard, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Plaintiffs appeal from the district court's order granting in part, and denying in part, relief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint.   Defendants have cross-appealed.   We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Worsham v. Lanham, Nos.  CA-93-1891-JFM;  CA-93-1953-JFM;  CA-93-2017-JFM;  CA-93-2089-JFM;  CA-93-2166-JFM;  CA-93-2343-JFM;  CA-93-3535-JFM;  CA-93-3633-JFM;  CA-94-113-JFM;  CA-94-862-JFM;  CA-94-1260-JFM;  CA-93-4060-JFM (L) (D.Md. Aug. 1, 1995, Aug. 3, 1995).   We deny the Plaintiffs' motions to appoint counsel and file an amended complaint.   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.
