CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Dontez Lamont Simuel 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 on the reasoning of the district court.            See Simuel v.

Smith, No. 5:04-cv-00182 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 5, 2006). 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
