Jakie Hammonds, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jakie Hammonds appeals the district court’s order construing

his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint as one for

habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.

1999) and dismissing it.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.      See Hammonds v. Robeson

County Jail, No. CA-99-845-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Feb. 16, 2000).       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
