Joann Sampson appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. * Sampson v. Manyor, Nos. CA-99-51-7-F; CA-99-69-7-F (E.D.N.C. Dec. 19, 2001). We grant Appellees’ motion to decide this appeal on the briefs without 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.
