PER CURIAM:

     Frederick E. Melvin appeals the district court’s orders dis-

missing his civil complaint.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Melvin

v. United Steelworkers of America, No. CA-00-63-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan.

11 & Mar. 2, 2001).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
