PER CURIAM:
Daniel Webster Hill appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find
no reversible error. Hill alleged that prison personnel negligent-
ly lost papers he had given them to copy; Hill wanted to submit the
papers with an appeal in another case. Inmates do not have a cause
of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for negligent interference by
prison officials with their right of access to the courts. See
Pink v. Lester, 52 F.3d 73, 74-75 (4th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. 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
