See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Christopher Ireland appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. Appellee J. Darren Byers has moved to dismiss Ireland’s appeal. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order on the reasoning of the district court. Ireland v. Byers, No. CA-97-952-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 26, 1998). We conclude that the district court did not err in dismissing the case with prejudice. We deny Appellee’s motion to dismiss as moot. 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 2
