    UNKNOWN NURSE; UNKNOWN SHERIFF, DefendantsAppellees.
    No. 95-7513.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: January 16, 1996.
    Decided: January 29, 1996.

    Van Prince Welch, Appellant Pro Se.


    Before WIDENER, WILKINS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
    1983 (1988) complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 1915(d) (1988). We have
    reviewed the record and the district court's opinion for an abuse of discretion
    and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's
    dismissal. 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
