Henry Watson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Appellant, a North Carolina, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his

(1994) complaint under

(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"),

Stat. 1321 (1996). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Watson v. Allen, No. CA-96-504-BR (E.D.N.C. July

30, 1996). We modify the district court's order to reflect that the

dismissal is without prejudice.

(1994). We dis-

pense 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 AS MODIFIED
