PER CURIAM:
Richard E. Blackburn appeals the district court’s
order adopting in part the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and denying relief on his civil action. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Blackburn’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Blackburn v. South
Carolina, No. 9:06-cv-02011-PMD (D.S.C. Mar. 11, 2009). 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
