John Grimes Wells, Appellant Pro Se. William Dennis Worley, NORTH
CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
Wells v. Thomas, No. CA-96-625-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 18, 1997). 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
