Earl L. Thorton, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. John Albert Maxfield, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR THE COUNTY OF WAKE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Earl L. Thornton, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order 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. Thorton v. Harrison, No. 5:08-cv-00043-F (E.D.N.C.

July 31, 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
