PER CURIAM:
Gary Wood Hedgepeth, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the dis-
trict court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994)
complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Liti-
gation Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). 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. Hedgepeth v. Outlaw, No.
CA-96-629 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 13, 1996). 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 deci-
sional process.
DISMISSED
