PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order entering judgment

in favor of Defendants after a bench trial on Appellant's copyright

and contract claims. 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. Armento v. Laser
Image, Inc., No. CA-95-102-1 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 18, 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.
