trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, Chief District
Judge. (CA-96-696-5-F)


Submitted:   March 13, 1997                 Decided:   June 5, 1997


Before HALL, ERVIN, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

Charles Evans, Appellant Pro Se.

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. Evans
v. North Carolina Dep't of Correction, No. CA-96-696-5-F (E.D.N.C.

Nov. 12, 1996). We deny Appellant's motion to continue the case in

light of his prison grievance and his request for this court to ob-

tain certain records on his behalf. 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 deci-

sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
