Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District
Judge. (CA-96-208-5-H)


Submitted:   June 19, 1997                 Decided:   June 26, 1997

Circuit Judge.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Glenn L. Williams, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have re-

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

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Williams v. Kennon, No. CA-96-208-
5-H (E.D.N.C. June 6, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         DISMISSED
