PER CURIAM:

     Linda R. Sharp appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on her 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint and

declining to exercise jurisdiction over her supplemental state law

claims. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.    See Sharp v. Dare County Dep’t

Soc. Servs., No. CA-97-34-2-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 10, 1999).   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
