PER CURIAM:

            Richard       E.   Blackburn       appeals   the    district          court’s

order   adopting     in    part   the     recommendation       of    the    magistrate

judge and denying relief on his civil action.                       We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.                   Accordingly, we deny

Blackburn’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the

reasons    stated    by     the   district      court.     Blackburn         v.     South

Carolina,   No.     9:06-cv-02011-PMD          (D.S.C.   Mar.       11,    2009).      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
