PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magis-

trate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Biggs v.
Cartwright, No. CA-93-17-BR (E.D.N.C. May 10, 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.
