PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on his

(1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Willis v. Town of Trenton, NC, No. CA-96-89-4-H (E.D.N.C. July 24, 1996).

We deny Appellant's motion to amend his notice of appeal. 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
