PER CURIAM:

1

A review of the record and the magistrate's opinion discloses that this appeal from an order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec.l983 is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the magistrate. Smith v. Hilliard, C/A Nos. 83-1302-CRT, 83-1318-CRT and 84-162-CRT (E.D.N.C., Sept. 18, 1986).

2

AFFIRMED.
