PER CURIAM:

     Dennis I. Green, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief upon his pro se petition for writ of

mandamus under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999).   We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that

this appeal is frivolous.     Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.   See Green v. Dupree, No. CA-

99-571-CT-5-H (E.D.N.C. Dec. 21, 1999).      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.




                                                          DISMISSED
