PER CURIAM: Khalyl Ben Israel, Malik Ben Israel, Graham George McDonnough, and Jesse C. Smith appeal the district court’s order entering judg- ment for Defendants following a bench trial in this 42 U.S.C.A.

§ 1983 (West Supp. 1998) action alleging a denial of Appellants’ First Amendment rights. We have reviewed the records and the dis- trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. 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. Appellant McDonnough’s motion for an injunction is denied.

AFFIRMED
