PER CURIAM:

     Randy F. Collins, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994)

complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison
Litigation Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and

find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Collins v. Alls-

brook, No. CA-96-255 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 8, 1996). 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
