OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Harold Emanuel appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.   Our review of the record discloses that this appeal is without merit.   Emanuel's complaints concerning the law library do not rise to constitutional dimension under  Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817 (1977).   Nor do his allegations concerning the conditions of his confinement violate contemporary standards of decency.   Rhodes v. Chapman, 452 U.S. 337 (1981).   Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order.   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.

2
AFFIRMED.
