                                6
PER CURIAM:

     K. Morgan Kenyon appeals the district court’s orders denying

relief on her several 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) com-

plaints.   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. Kenyon v. Nelson County Sher-

iff, No. CA-98-81-6; Kenyon v. Central State Hosp., No. CA-98-83-6;

Kenyon v. Barlow, No. CA-98-93-6; Kenyon v. McMillan, No. CA-99-1-6

(W.D. Va. May 9 & 18, 2000).    The Appellees in Nos. 00-1757, 00-

1759, and 00-1760 have moved this Court to award attorneys fees and

costs.   Although we deny the Appellees’ motion for fees and costs,

we warn Kenyon that her continued pursuit of frivolous claims in

this Court may result in the award of damages and costs or other

sanctions against her.   See Fed. R. App. P. 38.   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
