PER CURIAM:

           Anthony Payne Siler 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.        See Siler v.

Bell, No. CA-02-534-5 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 8, 2003).         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
