Kam Richard Carpenter, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Kam Richard Carpenter appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.    We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

deny Carpenter’s motion for a certificate of appealability as

unnecessary and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.   See Carpenter v. Benfield, No. CA-02-255-1-1-MU (W.D.N.C.

filed Nov. 26, 2002; entered Nov. 27, 2002).   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
