Bruce Alton Rogers, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing with-

out prejudice as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion, dis-

missing the action because it failed to state a claim upon which

relief could be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (West Supp.
1997), and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Appel-

lant's motion for judicial notice and affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. Rogers v. Jarvis, No. CA-97-584-5-B02 (E.D.N.C.
Sept. 15, 1997). To the extent that the district court did not

expressly address Appellant’s claims for damages, we find that the

claims are meritless. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
