PER CURIAM:

     William Thomas Barnes appeals the district court’s order

denying   relief   on   his   42   U.S.C.A.   §   1983   (West   Supp.   1998)

complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no

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

district court. Barnes v. Harris, No. CA-96-596 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 3,

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.
