Diane Matchem, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing this

action with prejudice for failure to prosecute. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Matchem v. Runyon, No. CA-92-56-3-MU (W.D.N.C. Nov. 22,
1996). 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
