UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 98-7626

TYRONE CURRENCE,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

DOUGLAS STROUT,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District Judge. (CA-98-619-5-H)

Submitted: January 7, 1999 Decided: January 20, 1999

Before WIDENER, MURNAGHAN, and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tyrone Currence, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Tyrone Currence, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his

(West Supp.

1998) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We

have reviewed 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. See Currence v. Strout,

No. CA-98-619-5-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7, 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.

DISMISSED
