Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellants appeal the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants in their civil action challenging Division Operating Procedure 864 — a prison grooming policy requiring that male inmates’ hair not be more than one inch in thickness/depth and prohibiting beards. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion, along with the Appellants’ numerous allegations of error, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. DeBlasio v. Johnson, Nos. CA-99-1818-AM; CA-99-1859-AM; CA-00-18-AM; CA-00-170-AM; CA-00-211-AM (E.D.Va. June 26, 2000; Oct. 30, 2000). We deny Appellants’ pending motions for appointment of counsel and further case consolidation. 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.
