PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting Defen-

dants’ motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Smith v. Freeman,

No. CA-95-32-MU (W.D.N.C. Aug. 26, 1997). We grant Appellant’s

motions to consider additional legal authorities. 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
