Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Mark A. Ward appeals the district court judgment granting

Peter Maloney’s motion for a judgment on the pleadings.     We have

reviewed the record and the district court memorandum opinion and

affirm for the reasons of the district court.   See Ward v. Maloney,

CA-03-1170-1 (M.D.N.C. May 17, 2005).      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
