PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1332. 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. Kirkpatrick v. Guinn, No. CA-95-
30-5-V (W.D.N.C. Sept. 1, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
