See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Leon James Ridings appeals from the district court’s order

denying relief on his action filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388

(1971).   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. See Ridings v. Federal Prison

Indus., Inc., No. CA-00-236-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Dec. 26, 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
