Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William G. Fisher, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing his

civil rights complaint filed under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(1994) as

frivolous under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915

(e) (West Supp. 1998). We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Appellant’s motion seeking

in forma pauperis status and affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court, Fisher v. North Carolina Prisoner Legal Servs., Inc.,

No. CA-97-1000-5-CT-F (E.D.N.C. Mar. 3, 1998), but modify the dis-

missal of his claim of medical indifference against prison

authorities to be without prejudice. See

28 U.S.C. § 2106

(1994).

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.
