PER CURIAM:

           James Allen Hooks appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Appellees and dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) civil rights action.           We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.           Hooks v. Bruton, No.

5:07-ct-03031-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 20, 2008).           We also deny Hooks’

motion   for   appointment   of   counsel.     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
