PER CURIAM:
John Paul Dyke appeals the district court’s order denying
his motion to substitute counsel. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. We conclude that Dyke cannot show
prejudice arising from the district court’s denial of his motion
for appointment of counsel. See Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962,
966 (4th Cir. 1987) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, 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
