PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his civil action after finding the claims barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel.

Stephens, No. CA-97-480-3-P (W.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 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.
