    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District
    Judge. (CA-97-159-5-H)
    Submitted:

    September 25, 1997

    Decided:

    October 23, 1997

    Before LUTTIG, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    John Grimes Wells, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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) (West
    Supp. 1997) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. 1915A (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. Wells v. Jones, No.
    CA-97-159-5-H (E.D.N.C. Apr. 15, 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.

    DISMISSED
