PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a North Carolina, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act
("PLRA"), Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Watson v. Allen, No. CA-96-504-BR (E.D.N.C. July

30, 1996). We modify the district court's order to reflect that the

dismissal is without prejudice. 28 U.S.C. § 2106 (1994). We dis-

pense 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 AS MODIFIED
