PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court’s order denying

relief on his civil rights complaint asserting violations under 42

U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, 1986 (1994) and North Carolina’s constitu-

tion. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason-

ing of the district court. Anderson v. Lenoir County, No. CA-97-

140-4-H-2 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 18, 1998). 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.
