Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: James Allen Hooks appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Appellees and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) civil rights action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Hooks v. Bruton, No. 5:07-ct-03031-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 20, 2008). We also deny Hooks’ motion for 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
