PER CURIAM:

      Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaints under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Liti-
gation Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We

have reviewed the records and the district court's opinions and

find that these appeals are frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeals on the reasoning of the district court. Reeves v. Stewart

and   Reeves   v.   Stackhouse,   Nos.   CA-96-244-5-H;   CA-96-138-5-H

(E.D.N.C. Apr. 10, 1996). 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.




                                                              DISMISSED
