Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Walter B. Graves, Appellant Pro Se. Ronald Jay Short, Jr., GWYNN, GWYNN & FARVER, L.L.P., Reidsville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. 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. Graves v. Gwynn, Gwynn & Farver, No. CA-96-892-2 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 1997). 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
