PER CURIAM:

      Lester Daniel Bryson and John Frank Bowen appeal the district

court’s order dismissing their 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 Bryson v. Johnston, No. CA-02-252-1-2 (W.D.N.C. filed

Nov. 22, 2002 & entered Nov. 25, 2002). We deny Appellants’ motions

for appointment of counsel, for oral argument, and to dismiss as

untimely the informal brief of Appellees Johnston and Bridges.           We

further deny as moot Appellants’ motion to extend time to file PLRA

documents and their informal brief. 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
