PER CURIAM:
Shannon J. Masters, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the dis-
trict court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West
Supp. 1998) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998).
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion
accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find that this
appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See Masters v. Davis, No. CA-98-
624-2 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 2, 1998). We deny the motion to dismiss
certain Appellees as parties 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.
DISMISSED
