PER CURIAM:

     Lee Wayne Hunt appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.   We

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

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Hunt’s motion for ap-

pointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Hunt v. Chavis, No. CA-98-942-5-F (E.D.N.C. Aug. 25,

2000).   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
