PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action after finding the claims barred by res judicata and

collateral estoppel. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. McLemore v. Stephens,
No. CA-97-480-3-P (W.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 1997). 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.
