JOSEPH WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

CHARLES T. FELTS,

Defendant – Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Beckley. Thomas E. Johnston, District Judge. (5:06-cv-01043)

Submitted: December 11, 2008 Decided: December 17, 2008

Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Joseph Williams, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph Williams, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and denying relief on his

(2000) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Williams v. Felts, No. 5:06-cv-01043

(S.D.W. Va. June 5, 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
