Kenneth Williams appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint against the Warden of the Maryland Reception Diagnostic and Classification Center and Correctional Medical Services, Inc. We have reviewed the record and affirm the district court’s dismissal of Williams’ claims for the reasons stated by the district court. See Williams v. Warden, No. 8:06-cv-01954-AW (D. Md. filed Jan. 18, 2007; entered Jan. 22, 2007). We also affirm the district court’s denial of Williams’ motion to amend because the amendment would have been futile, see United States v. Smith, 395 F.3d 516, 519 (4th Cir. 2005); United States v. Pittman, 209 F.3d 314, 317 (4th Cir. 2000), and deny Williams’ motion for the appointment of counsel. 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.
