See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's
order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e) (2) (B)   (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. Be-

cause Appellant did not establish that disputed information in his

case file was false, he failed to state a claim. See Paine v.
Baker, 595 F.2d 197 (4th Cir. 1979). 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.

                                                         DISMISSED
