Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is frivo-

lous. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dis-
miss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Trujillo v.
Smith, No. CA-96-684-5-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 10, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
