- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Ronnie M. Belk appeals the district court’s orders

denying relief on his

(2000) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Belk v.

Dickerhoff, No. 5:06-ct-03071-H (E.D.N.C. Oct. 19, 2006; Aug. 14,

2007). We grant Belk’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis 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
