PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil complaint. 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. Viswanathan v.
Fayetteville State Univ. Bd. of Trustees, No. CA-96-160-7-BR

(E.D.N.C. Apr. 29, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
