PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litiga-
tion Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We

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

that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court. McDaniels v. Starcher,

No. CA-96-31-2 (N.D.W. Va. Apr. 24, 1996). 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.

                                                        DISMISSED
