PER CURIAM:

      Mark Schnee appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2002) complaint arising from

a speeding ticket he received in North Carolina.         We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Schnee v. Smith, No. CA-01-916 (E.D.N.C. May 13, 2002).

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
