Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Anthony Dove appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). We have reviewed

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

the reasoning of the district court. See Dove v. City of Kinston,

No. CA-02-34-4-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 18, 2002). Because this opinion

comports with Dove’s motion for a written opinion, we grant that

motion. 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
