Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Harold Jerome Thornton, Appellant Pro Se. Jarod James Douglas, Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Harold Jerome Thornton appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Thornton v. O’Brien, No. 5:12-cv-00074-FPS-JSK (N.D.W. Va. Aug. 21, 2013). We deny Thornton’s motion to appoint counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
