Burton Charles Weeks, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his

(1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Weeks v. Freeman, No. CA-97- 418-5-BO-2 (E.D.N.C. June 30, 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.

DISMISSED
