Bruce Caldwell, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Caldwell v. Ruffino, No. CA-95-431-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Aug. 9, 1995).

Because Appellant has failed to demonstrate the requisite extraordinary circumstances, we also deny his motion for appoint- ment of counsel. See Whisenant v. Yuam, 739 F.2d 160, 163 (4th Cir. 1984). 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
