    Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying relief on his 42
    U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) complaints. Our review of the records and the district
    court's opinions accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge
    discloses that these appeals are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the
    reasoning of the district court. Combs v. Martin, No. CA-92-96-5-V; Combs v.
    Town of Jefferson, No. CA-93-4-5-V (W.D.N.C. Sept. 12, 1994). 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
