UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, J. T. HADDEN, Warden; KEVIN J. MCBRIDE, PhD., A. F. BEELER,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcom J. Howard, District Judge. (CA-03-747-5-H)

Submitted: April 15, 2004 Decided: April 22, 2004

Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Raphael Mendez, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Raphael Mendez appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil rights complaint. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. See Mendez v. United States,

No. CA-03-747-5-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 29, 2003). The motion for refund

of money withheld from appellant’s trust account under the Prison

Litigation Reform Act is denied. 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
