See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant, a North Carolina, appeals the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"), Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 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. 28 U.S.C. § 2106 (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.
