PER CURIAM: In No. 96-7933, Walker appeals the district court's order de- nying relief on his action filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics , 403 U.S. 388 (1971). 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. Walker v. Tabron, No. CA-96-488-5-H(1) (E.D.N.C. Dec. 4, 1996). In No. 96-7784, Walker appeals from the denial of relief on his Bivens claim alleging that the denial of his furlough request violated his right to equal protection. Our review of the record discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. 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.

AFFIRMED
