PER CURIAM:

     O'Connor Construction Company and Nationwide Homes, Inc., ap-

peal an order of the district court dismissing, under Fed. R. Civ.

P. 12(b)(6), their civil rights suit against the City of Boiling

Spring Lakes, North Carolina.   The complaint asserted that a city

zoning ordinance that prohibits the construction of mobile or
modular homes on parcels within the "R-1" residential zoning

district deprives the plaintiffs of equal protection of the law.

Having considered the briefs and heard the arguments of the par-

ties, we affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons
stated in its memorandum opinion.    O'Connor Construction Co. v.
City of Boiling Spring Lakes, No. 7:95-CV-84-F3 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 3,

1996).

                                                         AFFIRMED
