PER CURIAM:
Edward H. Bender appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying
relief in his civil action. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Bender v. Gutierrez, No. 2:03-cv-00519-WDK
(E.D. Va. Jan. 25, 2007). 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
