Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Rickey Smith appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his

(2006) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Smith

v. Burnell, No. 4:08-cv-01089-TLW (D.S.C. Aug. 26, 2009). 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
