David Maurice Beatty, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint and a magistrate judge's

order denying his motion for appointment of counsel. We have

reviewed the record and the opinions and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court and
magistrate judge. Beatty v. Lincoln, No. CA-95-983 (E.D.N.C. Dec. 4
& 22, 1995). 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
