PER CURIAM:

     Marshall Nicholson, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)(2) (West Supp.

1999).     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous.    Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     See

Nicholson v. North Carolina Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-98-271-4-

MU (W.D.N.C. Feb. 5, 1999). 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
