PER CURIAM:

           Lester Hardy appeals the district court’s order 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.           Hardy v. Bennett,

No. 5:06-ct-03107-FL (E.D.N.C. Feb. 4, 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
