See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. O'Neal
v. Merkel, No. CA-94-476-5-CT-H (E.D.N.C. Sept. 26, 1995). We dis-

pense 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
