W. T. CULLIGAN; J. W. BOOTH,

Defendants - Appellees, and

CHARLOTTE POLICE DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Chief District Judge. (CA-99-64-3-2MU)

Submitted: November 30, 2000 Decided: December 11, 2000

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Stephan D. Brooks, Appellant Pro Se. Frank Bayard Aycock, III, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Stephan D. Brooks appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 2000) complaint. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. See Brooks v. Culligan, No. CA-99-64-3-2MU

(W.D.N.C. filed June 21, 2000; entered June 27, 2000). 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.

AFFIRMED
