PER CURIAM:

     Thomas W. Hill appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his complaint raising claims under 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 1983,

1985 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001), and seeking injunctive, declaratory,

and monetary relief, including the removal of a criminal case from

state court.   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. Hill v. Hunt, No. CA-01-64-1-

T (W.D.N.C. filed May 15, 2001; entered May 16, 2001).     We deny

Hill’s motion for oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
