PER CURIAM:

     Timothy Stephen Belcher appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) com-

plaint.   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 Belcher v. White, No.

CA-98-506-MU (W.D.N.C. filed June 7, 2001; entered June 10, 2001).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
