PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal the district court's order dismissing their petition for writ of mandamus as frivolous. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Minor v. Horsey, No. CA-96-2870-S (D. Md.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
