PER CURIAM:

             Kenneth   Edgar    Patton       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.      Patton v. Lancaster, No. 1:05-cv-00251-GCM-1 (W.D.N.C.

May 6, 2008).     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
