PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court’s orders denying relief

on their action filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of

Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and dismissing

claims against federal magistrate judges on grounds of judicial

immunity.     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinions and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.   See Bear v. Wydra, No. CA-97-

500-3-P (W.D.N.C. Mar. 26, 1998; Feb. 11, 1999).   We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
