OPINION

PER CURIAM:


Joseph L. Penland appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny Penland's request that the Court serve copies of his informal brief on the defendants and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Penland v. DuBois, No. CA-91-455-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 19, 1991). 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.
