PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint after this court's remand in

Cheatham v. Williams, No. 94-2605 (4th Cir. Apr. 18, 1995) (unpub-

lished). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to

proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. Cheatham v. Williams, No. CA-93-235-5-D (E.D.N.C.

Jan. 17, 1996). We further deny Appellant's "Motion to Dismiss

Disposition." 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
