Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Steven Glen Byrd appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge 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. Byrd v.

North Carolina, No. 3:08-cv-00070-FDW-CH (W.D.N.C. July 7,

2008). 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
