PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

her civil action alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983

(1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Fort v. Howes, No. CA-96-542-5-BR2
(E.D.N.C. Apr. 3, 1997). We deny Appellant's motions to correct the

record and to certify questions to the North Carolina Supreme

Court. 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
