    PER CURIAM:

    OPINION
    1

    Leonard O. Douglas appeals from the district court's order denying relief under
    42 U.S.C. 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's
    opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that
    this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
    district court. Douglas v. Silver, No. CA-90-906-JH (D. M. Dec. 3, 1991).* 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

    Douglas's motion for appointment of counsel is hereby denied
