trict of North Carolina, at Wilmington. James C. Fox, District
Judge. (CA-99-27-7-F)

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Derneck L. Pittman, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Derneck Pittman appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court.   See Pittman v. Hardee, No. CA-99-27-7-F (E.D.N.C.

Mar. 2, 1999).    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
