Submitted: September 19, 2002 Decided: September 25, 2002

Before LUTTIG, WILKINS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Elder Deforrorrora Locust, Appellant Pro Se. James Stockton Perry, PERRY, PERRY & PERRY, Kinston, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Elder Deforrorrora Locust appeals in this civil case, arguing that the district court improperly failed to grant his motion for default. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm. 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
