See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Jerry Griffin 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 deny

Griffin’s motion to appoint counsel, grant his motion to amend his

informal brief, and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

See Griffin v. Wright, No. CA-04-177-5-FL (E.D.N.C. Apr. 12, 2005).

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
