PER CURIAM:

     Muhammad Jalal Deen Akbar appeals from the district court’s

order dismissing his Bivens* action.   Our review of the record dis-

closes that this appeal is without merit.    Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order on the reasoning of the district court.

Akbar v. Bureau of Prisons, No. CA-99-526-5-H (E.D.N.C. Sept. 13,

2000).   We deny Akbar’s pending motions to stay, for general re-

lief, and, because this appeal presents no complex issues, we also

deny his motion for 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
