    Ronnie Lee Hill, a North Carolina inmate, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against William McKay that was dismissed by the district court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the dismissal, agreeing with the district court that McKay did not act under color of state law when the actions underlying Hill's complaint occurred.

    v.
    William MCKAY, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 88-6527.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted March 30, 1988.
    Decided May 3, 1988.

    Ronnie Lee Hill, appellant pro se.


    John B. Hatfield, Jr., Hatfield & Hatfield, Margaret Ann Kusenberg, for
    appellee.
    Before WIDENER, SPROUSE, and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Ronnie L. Hill, a North Carolina inmate, appeals from the order of the district
    court dismissing his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action. We agree with the district
    court that the defendant did not act under color of state law and therefore affirm
    its dismissal on the ground that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider
    Hill's action. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues
    recently have been decided authoritatively.

    AFFIRMED.
