James Collins, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James Collins appeals from the district court’s judgment

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. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Collins v. Baker, No. CA-98-12-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Feb.

6, 1998). 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
