W.D.Va.
AFFIRMED.
Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Lesley Staples appeals from the magistrate judge's orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint.*  Staples' claim that he was unlawfully interrogated following his arrest was properly dismissed under Heck v. Humphrey, --- U.S. ---, 62 U.S.L.W. 4594 (U.S. June 24, 1994) (No. 93-6188).   Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of this claim on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.   Staples v. Hatcher, No. CA-95-108-R (W.D.Va. Sept. 5, 1995).   Our review of the record and proceedings before the magistrate judge concerning Staples' claim that he was denied proper medical care by prison staff reveals that the magistrate judge properly concluded that Staples failed to state a claim of deliberate indifference to a serious medical need actionable under § 1983.   Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of this claim as well.   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 in the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
