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)(2) (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.* Lee v. Stieneke, No. CA-97-282-3-
MU (W.D.N.C. July 21, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
*
To the extent Appellant appeals the district court's order
waiving his partial filing fee and ordering transmission of partial
payments from his trust account to the court, this relief is also
denied. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(b) (West Supp. 1997).
