Herman K. Simpson appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) *382 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. Simpson v. Butterfield, No. CA-01-414-5-F (E.D.N.C. July 19, 2001). We deny Simpson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and 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.
