Submitted Nov. 28, 1990.Decided May 28, 1991.

N.D.W.Va.
AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Roy Horton appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.1   United States v. Horton, CR-86-182 (N.D.W.Va. Sept. 13, 1990).  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.

1
 We note that Horton's claims that he was assaulted by a sheriff and that he was inappropriately placed in segregation should be asserted in an action under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  Since the district court did not address those claims, we dismiss those claims without prejudice to Horton's asserting them in a Sec. 1983 petition
