Horace Gant, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Horace Gant appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint as frivolous; and denying his

Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion.   We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.    See Gant v. Dep’t of Corr., No. CA-02-627-5-H

(E.D.N.C. filed Sept. 27, 2002 & entered Oct. 1, 2002; filed Nov.

4, 2002 & entered Nov. 5, 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
