PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Harry L. Gaston, Sr., appeals from the district court's order entering judgment as a matter of law for Defendants in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) action.*  Our de novo review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Gaston v. Lloyd, No. CA-90-182-C-C-P (W.D.N.C. Nov. 6, 1992).  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.  Gaston's motion for oral argument is denied.

AFFIRMED


*
 The district court dismissed Gaston's pendent state claims without prejudice
