PER CURIAM:

     Mark Steven Myers appeals the district court's order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magis-

trate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Myers v.
Sawyer, No. CA-95-151-5-F (E.D.N.C. Aug. 6, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
