Sherman A. Thompson, Appellant Pro Se. Yvonne Bulluck Ricci, NORTH
CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Sherman A. Thompson appeals the district court’s order

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

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.   Thompson v.

Joyner, No. 5:06-ct-03013-FL (E.D.N.C. May 29, 2007).      We deny

Thompson’s motion for appointment of counsel and 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
