Larry C. Weldon, Appellant Pro Se. Bruce Raleigh Ellisen, Janet A. Bradley, Theodore M. Doolittle, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUS- TICE, Washington, D.C., 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 awarding summary

judgment to the United States in this quiet title action. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Weldon v. United States, No. CA-95-59-2-BO-2 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 24, 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
