Arthur O. Armstrong, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Arthur O. Armstrong appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion for leave to file a complaint.     We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

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

court.   Armstrong v. Osteen, No. MISC-00-108-1 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 20,

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
