PER CURIAM:

            Christopher Eugene Cook appeals the district court’s

order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing      two     of    his   three    claims         in   his    42    U.S.C.      § 1983

(2006)    complaint,         and    affirming         the    magistrate       judge’s     order

denying    Cook’s       motion      for    sanctions.            We    have    reviewed      the

record    and    find     no    reversible           error.      Nor     does    the      record

support    Cook’s       assertion         that       the    district     court       is   biased

against him.           Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.            Cook v. Bennett, No. 1:07-cv-00031-JAB-DPD

(M.D.N.C.       Dec.    10,    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
