Calvin Earl Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Charles Jerome Murray, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina;
Leslie Calkins O'Toole, Alex John Hagan, SMITH, HELMS, MULLISS &
MOORE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court's order granting Appellees' motion for summary judg-

ment because the record reveals that the complaint fails to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(b)(6). 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
