PER CURIAM:

     Stephen L. Miles appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Appellees on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

1999) complaint.   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 Miles v. Nickens,

No. CA-97-935-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Apr. 28, 1999). 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.
