PER CURIAM:

     Benjamin Walker Perkins appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.

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

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no revers-

ible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Perkins v. Creecy, No. CA-98-968-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Jan.

10, 2000).    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
