- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Joseph Shaw appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge in part and 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. Shaw v. Hunt, No.

5:98-ct-000691-F (E.D.N.C. Sept. 26, 2007). 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
