THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina,
for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Victor Tyrone Bass appeals the district court’s orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint and

denying his motion for reconsideration.       We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Bass v. Smith, No. CA-97-745-5-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 26 & Oct. 2, 1998).

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
