PER CURIAM: Rodney Eugene Thompson appeals the district court’s order de- nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no revers- ible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis- trict court. See Thompson v. Guilford County Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. CA-98-253-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 23, 1999). Thompson’s motion to have this court review the original record is granted. We deny Thomp- son’s motion for the appointment of counsel and deny the motion for oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
