PER CURIAM:

     Rodney Eugene Thompson appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no revers-

ible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.   See Thompson v. Guilford County Sheriff’s Dep’t, No.

CA-98-253-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 23, 1999).    Thompson’s motion to have

this court review the original record is granted.   We deny Thomp-

son’s motion for the appointment of counsel and deny the motion for

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
