ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Ricky Dale Brock appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.   We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.    See Brock v. Groomes, No. CA-99-298-5-BO

(E.D.N.C. Nov. 5, 1999).   We further deny Brock’s motion for re-

straining order and preliminary injunction.   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
