PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Branch v. Ingram, No. CA-94-202-CT-BO (E.D.N.C. Feb. 6 &
Aug. 11, 1995; May 31, 1996). 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 deci-

sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
