Harold Jerome Thornton, Appellant Pro Se. Jarod James Douglas, Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Harold Jerome Thornton appeals the district court’s

order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics,

(1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Thornton v. O’Brien, No. 5:12-cv-00074-FPS-JSK

(N.D.W. Va. Aug. 21, 2013). We deny Thornton’s motion to

appoint counsel and 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
