PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on his civil rights complaint asserting violations under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, 1986 (1994) and North Carolina’s constitu- tion. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason- ing of the district court. Anderson v. Lenoir County, No. CA-97- 140-4-H-2 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 18, 1998). 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.
