District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, Chief
District Judge. (CA-02-303-5-BO)

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael Rankins, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael Rankins appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.   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 Rankins v. Bonner, No. CA-02-303-5-BO (E.D.N.C.

June 10, 2002).   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
