See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district
court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-
plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e) (West Supp. 1997). We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that
this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Fordham v. Freeman, No. CA-97-385-
5-BO (E.D.N.C. June 23, 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.
DISMISSED
