Robert Smalls, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Robert    Smalls       appeals       the    district     court’s     order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief   on    his     42   U.S.C.       § 1983    (2000)    complaint.       We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                        Accordingly,

we deny Smalls’ motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.                     Smalls v. Patterson,

No. 9:07-cv-03095-RBH (D.S.C. July 22, 2008).                        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
