Gary Cooper, Appellant Pro Se. James Philip Allen, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Gary Cooper appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.     We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.   See Cooper v. Starling,

No. CA-02-250-5-BO (E.D.N.C. filed Jan. 8, 2003; entered Jan. 10,

2003).   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
