Searches for R--Parity Violating Decays of Gauginos at 183 GeV at LEP          
  
A search for pair-produced charginos and neutralinos with R-parity             
violating decays has been performed                                            
using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of               
56 pb^-1 collected with the OPAL detector at LEP                               
at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}= 183 GeV.                                
The searches have been performed under the assumptions                         
that the lightest supersymmetric particle promptly decays                      
and that only one R-parity violating coupling is dominant                      
for each of the decay modes considered. Such processes would                   
yield multiple leptons, jets plus leptons, or multiple jets with or            
without significant missing energy in the final state.                         
No excess of such events above Standard Model backgrounds                      
has been observed.                                                             
Limits are presented on the production cross-sections of                       
gauginos and are also presented in the framework                               
of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
