    versus
    JUANITA H. BAKER; ELBERT T. BUCK, JR.; WILLIAM
    A. LOWERY; CHARLES L. MANN; MARGARET M.
    STAMEY,
    Defendants - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, Chief District
    Judge. (CA-96-745-5-F)
    Submitted:

    May 15, 1997

    Decided:

    May 29, 1997

    Before RUSSELL, HALL, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    James Staton, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    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) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. 1915(e)(2)(B) (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. Staton v. Baker, No. CA-96-745-5-F
    (E.D.N.C. Dec. 12, 1996). 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.

    DISMISSED
