PER CURIAM:

     Walter Schumacher appeals the district court’s judgment dis-

missing his civil rights complaint for failing to state a claim.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum and

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

reasoning of the district court.       See Schumacher v. Swain County,

No. CA-99-67-2 (W.D.N.C. May 24, 1999).      We deny Schumacher’s mo-

tion for 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.
