2 PER CURIAM:

Linda R. Sharp appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on her

(West Supp. 1999) complaint and

declining to exercise jurisdiction over her supplemental state law

claims. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See Sharp v. Dare County Dep’t

Soc. Servs., No. CA-97-34-2-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 10, 1999). We dis-

pense 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.

AFFIRMED
