PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinions partially accepting the magis-

trate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Burns v.
Blount, No. CA-95-58-5-F (E.D.N.C. Aug. 14, 1996 & June 17, 1997).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
