Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Cameron McGowan Currie, District Judge. (CA-04-905) Submitted: January 27, 2005 Decided: February 7, 2005 Before LUTTIG and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Benton, Appellant Pro Se. Daniel Roy Settana, Jr., Stephen L. Hall, MCKAY, MCKAY & SETTANA, PA, Columbia, South Carolina; James Miller Davis, Jr., DAVIDSON, MORRISON & LINDEMANN, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: James Benton appeals the district court’s orders (1) affirming the magistrate judge’s denial of Benton’s motion for the appointment of counsel, and (2) accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Benton’s 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 Benton v. Ozmint, No. CA-04-905 (D.S.C. July 1, 2004; Oct. 27, 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 - 2 -
