PER CURIAM:

     Laurie and Ira Foote appeal the district court’s order dis-

missing with prejudice their action under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983; 42

U.S.C.A. § 1985; and 42 U.S.C.A. § 1986 (West Supp. 1998), and

dismissing without prejudice any state supplemental claims.     We

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

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

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

court.   See Foote v. Barton, No. CA-98-117-1 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 2,

1998).   In addition, we have reviewed the record and find the

pleadings do not set forth a claim for denial of equal protection.

See Sylvia Dev. Corp. v. Calvert County, Md., 48 F.3d 810, 819 (4th

Cir. 1995).   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.
