PER CURIAM:

Appellants appeal the district court’s order dismissing their

42 U.S.C.A. § 1983

(West Supp. 2001) medical treatment claim. We

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

no reversible error. Further, we decline to review Appellants’

claims raised for the first time on appeal. See Muth v. United

States,

1 F.3d 246, 250

(4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. See Cooper v. Prison Health

Servs., No. CA-01-1428-S (D. Md. May 23, 2001). We deny Appel-

lants’ motion for appointment of counsel. 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.
