PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint, under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)
(West Supp. 1997), and denying his motion to recuse. We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that

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

reasoning of the district court. Davis v. Robeson County Pub.
Schs., No. CA-97-42-7-F (E.D.N.C. Apr. 22, 1997). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
