WILLARD LEAMON MARTIN,

                                           Petitioner - Appellant,

          versus

     *
       In his original complaint in action number 99-6467, Martin
named Don Lundgren as Attorney General of California and,
consequently, Lundgren was included on the district court’s docket
sheet as a defendant in the action.      After the district court
consolidated Martin’s habeas and civil rights actions, Lundgren’s
name appeared on some, but not all, pleadings filed by Martin and
orders entered by the court. Lundgren was never served, however,
and he made no appearance in the district court or this court.

PER CURIAM:

     Willard Leamon Martin appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaints.

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

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no revers-

ible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. See Martin v. Beaufort County Judge, Nos. CA-97-3411-

4-19-BD; CA-97-3351-4-19-BD (D.S.C. Mar. 10, 1999).        We deny

Martin’s motions for a hearing and for appointment of counsel and

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
