PER CURIAM:
Joann Sampson appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the
reasoning of the district court.* Sampson v. Manyor, Nos. CA-99-
51-7-F; CA-99-69-7-F (E.D.N.C. Dec. 19, 2001). We grant Appellees’
motion to decide this appeal on the briefs without 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
*
We note that it is unnecessary to determine whether
Defendants benefitted from Eleventh Amendment immunity as Sampson
demonstrated no constitutional violation. See Belcher v. Oliver,
898 F.2d 32, 36 (4th Cir. 1990).
