    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district
    court's order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition under 28
    U.S.C.A. 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and
    the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Trujillo v.
    Smith, No. CA-96-684-5-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 10, 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 decisional process.

    DISMISSED
