See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal from the district court's orders denying re- lief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaints. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Ellis v. Secretary of Public Safety, No. CA-96-268-JFM (D.

Md. Feb. 29, 1996); Boblett v. Secretary of Public Safety, No. CA- 96-490-JFM (D. Md. Mar. 1, 1996); Strong v. Glendening, No. CA-95- 3369-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 29, 1996). 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
