See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Tommy E. Martin appeals the magistrate judge’s order granting

defendants’    motion   to   dismiss       pursuant   to   Fed.   R.   Civ.   P.

12(b)(6).*    We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

opinion and find no reversible error.            Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the magistrate judge.                See Martin v. Cumulus

Fibres, Inc., No. CA-00-552-3-H (W.D.N.C. Jan. 11, 2001).                     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




     *
       The parties consented to jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 2000).
