Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph Michael Griffith 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. Griffith v. Bird, No. 3:06-cv-00308-GCM (W.D.N.C.

Nov. 3, 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
