PER CURIAM:

            Joseph Michael Griffith appeals the district court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.

We   have   reviewed   the   record     and   find   no    reversible     error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      Griffith    v.   Bird,    No.     3:06-cv-00308-GCM        (W.D.N.C.

Nov. 3, 2009).    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
