PER CURIAM:

            Albert   Hargrove    appeals    the   district    court’s   order

denying relief on his complaint alleging violations of state and

federal law in connection with the denial of his claim for state

workers’ compensation benefits.        We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. See Hargrove v. Steiner, No. CA-04-304-5-FL

(E.D.N.C. Dec. 23, 2004).       We further deny Hargrove’s motion for a

certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2553(c) as

unnecessary to this appeal. 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

decisional process.

                                                                     AFFIRMED
