See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying relief

on her complaint in which she asserted claims under 42 U.S.C. §

1983 (1994), and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau
of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinions accepting the magistrate judge's

recommendations and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Murphy v. Patrick,

No. CA-91-453-2 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 17, 1992; Mar. 21, 1994). 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
