PER CURIAM:

     Lesley Staples appeals from the magistrate judge's orders

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint.* Staples'
claim that he was unlawfully interrogated following his arrest was

properly dismissed under Heck v. Humphrey, ___ U.S. ___, 

 (U.S. June 24, 1994) (No. 93-6188). Accordingly, we

affirm the dismissal of this claim on the reasoning of the magis-

trate judge. Staples v. Hatcher, No. CA-95-108-R (W.D. Va. Sept. 5,
1995). Our review of the record and proceedings before the magis-

trate judge concerning Staples' claim that he was denied proper

medical care by prison staff reveals that the magistrate judge
properly concluded that Staples failed to state a claim of delib-

erate indifference to a serious medical need actionable under §

1983. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of this claim as well.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid in the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED




     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (1988).
