PER CURIAM:

     Donald E. Davis appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.

Defendants cross appeal the denial of their motion for attorney’s

fees and sanctions.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we

affirm the grant of Defendants’ motions to dismiss on the reasoning

of the district court.    See Davis v. Town of Holly Springs, No. CA-

00-368-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Apr. 25, 2001).     In addition, we find that

the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defen-

dants’ motion for attorney’s fees and sanctions.     Thus, we affirm

that order as well.      We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                            AFFIRMED
