    PER CURIAM:
    Plaintiffs appeal from the district court's order granting in
    part, and denying in part, relief on their 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1988)
    complaint. Defendants have cross-appealed. We have reviewed the
    record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
    error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
    court. Worsham v. Lanham, Nos. CA-93-1891-JFM; CA-93-1953-JFM; CA93-2017-JFM; CA-93-2089-JFM; CA-93-2166-JFM; CA-93-2343-JFM; CA-933535-JFM; CA-93-3633-JFM; CA-94-113-JFM; CA-94-862-JFM; CA-94-1260JFM; CA-93-4060-JFM (L) (D. Md. Aug. 1, 1995, Aug. 3, 1995). We
    deny the Plaintiffs' motions to appoint counsel and file an amended
    complaint. 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
