Walter Columbus Simmons, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Walter Columbus Simmons appeals the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing his

(2006) complaint for failing to

state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Simmons v. State of N.C. Dep’t of Corr.,

No. 1:13-cv-00684-WO-JLW (M.D.N.C. Oct. 15, 2013). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
