See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Pete Smith appeals the district court’s order adopting

the report and recommendation of a magistrate judge and dismissing

his action filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 

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

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

district court.    See Smith v. Osteen, No. CA-04-494-1 (M.D.N.C.

Oct. 1, 2004).    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
