Timmie R. Locklear, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Timmie R. Locklear appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).         We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we

affirm   for   the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.   See

Locklear v. Bennett, No. CA-04-31-1-1-MU (W.D.N.C. filed Apr. 2,

2004 & entered Apr. 6, 2004).           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.



                                                                  AFFIRMED
