    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order denying relief
    on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint.* We have reviewed the
    record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible
    error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate
    judge. Brooks v. City of Winston-Salem, No. CA-94-80-6 (M.D.N.C.
    Mar. 19, 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 decisional process.

    AFFIRMED

    The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate


    judge under 28 U.S.C. 636(c) (1994).
