PER CURIAM:

              Steven Glen Byrd 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 affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                 Byrd v.

North    Carolina,      No.     3:08-cv-00070-FDW-CH      (W.D.N.C.    July    7,

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
