PER CURIAM:

          Kevin Andre Rankin appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.    We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.   See Rankin v.

Lightsey, No. CA-02-483-5-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 20, 2003).   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
