Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jill Chappelear Ainsworth appeals the district court’s order

denying her petition for removal to federal court.     We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See North Carolina v. Ainsworth, No. CA-98-368-3-V

(W.D.N.C. Jan. 28, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
