trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District
Judge. (CA-01-324-5-H)

Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Gerald Wayne Autry, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Gerald Wayne Autry, a state inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

2001) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)(2) (West Supp. 2001).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find this appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court.    See Autry v. Wadsworth,

No. CA-01-324-5-H (E.D.N.C. filed June 27, 2001; entered June 30,

2001).   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.




                                                           DISMISSED
