See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the

magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss his complaint chal-

lenging the constitutionality of Title XI of the Violent Crime Con-

trol and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of
the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Kropelnicki v.
United States, No. CA-94-186-1 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 3, 1995). 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
