Odell J. Harris, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Harris v. North Carolina Dep't of Corrections, No.
CA-96-168-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Mar. 7, 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.




                                                         AFFIRMED
