Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

             Sharon Thomas appeals the district court’s grant of

summary judgment to the defendants upon finding Thomas’ claims

barred by res judicata.          We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we grant Thomas leave to proceed

in   forma   pauperis    and   affirm    for    the   reasons   stated    by   the

district     court.     Thomas    v.   Orange   Cnty.    Gov’t,   No.    1:10-cv-

00078-CCE-LPA (M.D.N.C. Mar. 17, 2014).                 We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.



                                                                         AFFIRMED
