See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Jelani Husani Simba appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 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 Simba v.

Thompson, No. CA-99-433-5-F (E.D.N.C. Apr. 1, 2002).   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
