Before LUTTIG and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James Ben Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Ben Smith appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint as

frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). We have reviewed the

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

the reasons stated by the district court. See Smith v. Smith, No.

CA-04-172-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 29, 2004). 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
