CECIL UNDERWOOD, Governor; SANDRA MCCORMICK ILDERTON, Chairperson, West Virginia Parole Board,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern Dis- trict of West Virginia, at Beckley. Robert C. Chambers, District Judge. (CA-99-345-5)

Submitted: December 16, 1999 Decided: December 21, 1999

Before MURNAGHAN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Cir- cuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Frederick Burns, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Frederick Burns, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his

(West Supp.

1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999). We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find that this

appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. See Burns v. Underwood, No. CA-99-345-5

(S.D.W. Va. July 22, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
