PER CURIAM:
Karim Abdul Akbar appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court.* Akbar v. Director of North Carolina Prisons, No.
CA-98-361-5-F (E.D.N.C. filed Mar. 27, 2002; entered Mar. 28,
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
*
We decline to address Akbar’s claim under the Religious Land
Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106-274,
114 Stat. 803, because this claim was not properly presented to the
district court and Akbar has not averred, much less demonstrated,
that plain error or a miscarriage of justice will result from the
failure to review it. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250
(4th Cir. 1993).
