PER CURIAM:

     Appellants filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 (1988),

claiming that their Eighth Amendment rights were violated because

they were exposed to histoplasmosis. The district court conducted

a hearing and granted summary judgment in Appellees' favor for the

reasons stated from the bench. Appellants appeal from the court's
order. We have reviewed the record and the district court's state-

ments from the bench. The court properly found that Appellants

failed to show that Appellees were deliberately indifferent to a

risk of infection. See Farmer v. Brennan, ___ U.S. ___,
62 U.S.L.W. 4446
, 4448-50 (U.S. June 6, 1994) (No. 92-7247). Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Taylor v. Guillory,
No. CA-95-744 (E.D. Va. Mar. 1, 1996). 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
