PER CURIAM:
Walter Clayton Ruff, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Ruff v. Bowers, No. 8:12-cv-03522-MGL (D.S.C. Feb. 19,
2014). We further deny Ruff’s motion for appointment of
counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
