Maurice James Lively, Robert Leon Buckner, Vicki Lorraine White, Appellants Pro Se.  John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Stephanie Judith Lane-Weber, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying their motion for joinder filed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 20, which we construed as a motion to intervene under Fed.R.Civ.P. 24.   We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Lively v. Robinson, No. CA-94-2871-N (D.Md. Nov. 15, 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.

AFFIRMED.
