Pinmon Larry Tyler, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Pinmon Larry Tyler appeals the district court’s order dismiss-

ing Tyler’s 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) action.    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.    See Tyler v. North Carolina Dep’t of Corrections,

No. CA-98-687-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 16, 1998).    We also deny Tyler’s

motion to amend.    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
