Ted Anthony Prevatte, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ted A. Prevatte, 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. Prevatte v. Cross, No. CA-

98-428-5-H (E.D.N.C. July 28, 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
