PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Feliberto Diaz 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 affirm substantially on the
reasoning of the district court. See Diaz v. Lee, CA-01-732-5-BR
(E.D.N.C. Aug. 21, 2003; Jan. 7, 2004). 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 note that because the Utilization Review Board (“URB”) is
not a “person” under § 1983, it was not necessary for the district
court to address the merits of Diaz’s claims against it. See
Will v. Mich. Dep’t of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 70 (1989).
