We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Bryson v. Johnston, No. CA-02-89-1-2 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 29, 2002). We further deny the pending motion for the appointment of counsel and for oral argument as the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
