W.D.Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before RUSSELL, MURNAGHAN, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) complaint. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court.* Gooden v. Boyers, No. CA-93-128-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 3, 1993). 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

*

To the extent Appellant is claiming a conspiracy, we find the claim wholly conclusory and therefore without merit. See Phillips v. Mashburn, 746 F.2d 782, 785 (11th Cir.1984)
