Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. James A. Beaty, Jr., Chief District Judge. (1:07-cv-00031-JAB-DPD)

Submitted: January 13, 2010 Decided: February 9, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Christopher Eugene Cook, Appellant Pro Se. Lisa Yvette Harper, Yvonne Bulluck Ricci, Assistant Attorneys General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Christopher Eugene Cook appeals the district court’s

order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing two of his three claims in his

(2006) complaint, and affirming the magistrate judge’s order

denying Cook’s motion for sanctions. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Nor does the record

support Cook’s assertion that the district court is biased

against him. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. Cook v. Bennett, No. 1:07-cv-00031-JAB-DPD

(M.D.N.C. Dec. 10, 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
