PER CURIAM:

     Clarence Britt appeals the district court’s orders dismissing

his civil diversity complaint as time-barred and denying his motion

for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Britt v. Martin,

No. CA-97-1007-5-H (E.D.N.C. June 30; Sept. 10, 1998). 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
