PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court’s order granting the

Appellee’s motion to dismiss.   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. Berry v. United

States, CA-96-1057-5-3-BO (E.D.N.C. Dec. 16, 1997).    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.   Thus, Appellee’s motion to

submit the case on briefs without oral argument is denied as moot.




                                                          AFFIRMED
