PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Booth v. Loflin, No. CA-95-135-3 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 16,
1996). 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.
