    John L. Lewis Pratt appeals from the district court's order denying relief under
    42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion
    discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we grant leave to
    proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Pratt
    v. General Court of Justice, C/A No. 89-380-C-R (M.D.N.C. May 31, 1989).
    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.
