See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Anthony Dove appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).   We have reviewed

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

the reasoning of the district court.    See Dove v. Lenoir County

Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. CA-02-33-4-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 15, 2002).     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
