PER CURIAM:
Thomas L. Lewis appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting
the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Lewis v. Prison Health Servs., No. CA-97-1136-2 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 2,
1999). We deny the motions for appointment of counsel and to dis-
miss the appeal as untimely and dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process. We deny as moot the motion of Appellees Wexford Health
Sources, Inc., and Essa Abdulla to extend the time in which to file
an informal brief.
AFFIRMED
