    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District
    Judge. (CA-97-385-5-BO)
    Submitted:

    December 11, 1997

    Decided:

    December 30, 1997

    Before HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Christopher James Fordham, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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) (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-97-3855-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 decisional process.

    DISMISSED
