See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Larry Eugene Smith, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint and denying

his motion for reconsideration.       We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. See Smith v. Pohlman, No. CA-01-759-

5-H (E.D.N.C. filed Nov. 19, 2002 & entered Nov. 20, 2002; Jan. 31,

2003).   We also deny Smith’s motion for appointment of counsel as

well as his motion for costs.         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
