Appellants Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court’s order dismissing their

civil rights complaint as frivolous. To the extent that Appellants’

complaint seeks the criminal prosecution of the named Defendants,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.      Wolff v. Games-

Neely, No. CA-00-67-3 (N.D.W. Va. Oct. 3, 2000).        To the extent

that Appellants seek money damages against the Defendants for their

alleged wrongdoings, we note that the accusations leveled against

the Defendants, if true, would undermine the validity of Appellant

Jeffrey Wolff’s criminal conviction. Accordingly, Wolff must first

demonstrate that his conviction has been reversed, expunged, de-

clared invalid, or called into question by a federal court’s issu-

ance of a writ of habeas corpus.       Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477,

486-87 (1994).   Accordingly, we affirm as modified to dismiss this

claim without prejudice to the Appellants’ right to refile upon

such a showing. We deny Appellants’ motion for a copy of a response

to their informal brief, as no such response exists.      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 IN PART; AFFIRMED

                                        AS MODIFIED IN PART
