James L. Melvin, Appellant Pro Se. David J. Cortes, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           James   L.   Melvin       appeals   the   district       court’s   order

denying   relief   in   his    civil    action   alleging       a    breach   of   a

settlement agreement.         We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.       See Melvin v. Principi, Sec. of Veterans

Affairs, No. CA-03-968-5 (E.D.N.C. Dec. 2, 2004). 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
