PER CURIAM:

     Warren Chase and Curtis Wright appeal the district court’s

order    granting   summary   judgment   to   the   Maryland   Correctional

Adjustment Center and several of its employees.          Chase and Wright

claimed that the prison diet was in violation of the Eighth Amend-

ment’s bar against cruel and unusual punishment.         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.    See Chase v. Maryland Correction, No. CA-00-1509-CCB (D.

Md. filed Sept. 24, 2001; entered Sept. 25, 2001).             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
