PER CURIAM:
Ronald Smith 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 accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny Smith’s motion for appointment of counsel and
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Smith v. Beck,
No. CA-00-537-5-2BR (E.D.N.C. July 25, 2001). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
