PER CURIAM:
Warren Chase and Curtis Wright appeal the district court’s
order granting summary judgment to the Maryland Correctional
Adjustment Center and several of its employees. Chase and Wright
claimed that the prison diet was in violation of the Eighth Amend-
ment’s bar against cruel and unusual punishment. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Chase v. Maryland Correction, No. CA-00-1509-CCB (D.
Md. filed Sept. 24, 2001; entered Sept. 25, 2001). 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
