PER CURIAM:
In appeal number 07-7559, Nathaniel Dante Rice appeals
the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)
complaint and its order denying reconsideration. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. Rice v. Smith, No.
1:05-cv-00434-WLO-PTS (M.D.N.C. Sept. 14, 2007; Oct. 29, 2007). We
deny Rice’s motions for appointment of counsel.
In appeal number 07-7682, defendants below appeal the
district court’s order affirming the magistrate judge’s order
denying their motion to strike certain documents filed by Rice. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm. We deny Rice’s motion for 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
