PER CURIAM:

     Donald Wayne Peery appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants in his civil

action challenging Division Operating Procedure 864, a prison

grooming policy requiring that male inmates’ hair not be more than

one inch in thickness/depth and prohibiting beards.           We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion, along with

Peery’s   allegations   of   error,   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we deny Peery’s motion to be excused from paying the

filing fee and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Peery v. Johnson, No. CA-99-1818-AM & No. CA-00-18-AM; Peery v.

Angelone, No. CA-99-1859-AM & No. CA-00-211; Peery v. Dep’t of

Corr., No. CA-00-170-AM (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 25, 2000, entered

Oct. 30, 2000).   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
