PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his civil rights action. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Willis v. Griffin,
No. CA-96-152-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan. 21, 1997). We deny Willis's motion

for appointment of counsel. 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
