PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal the district court's order denying relief on their civil complaint. 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. Evans v. Chafin, No. CA-97-222-3 (S.D.W. Va. June 25, 1997). We deny Appellants' motion for leave to present status report 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 deci- sional process.
