Chief District Judge. (CA-96-321)

Joy Hicks, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order summarily dis-

missing the complaint as frivolous. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. Hicks v. Prince Graves
Homes, No. CA-96-321 (M.D.N.C. June 13, 1996). 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.
