PER CURIAM:

            Ted Aaron McCracken appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge granting

defendant   Natale’s   motion   for   summary   judgment,   and   imposing

sanctions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11.       We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.      See McCracken v. Natale, No. CA-

04-50-5 (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
