PER CURIAM:

            Ulysses P. Gardner appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.                                We

have     reviewed     the     record     and    find        no    reversible        error.

Accordingly,     although       we     grant    leave       to    proceed      in   forma

pauperis, we deny Gardner’s motion for appointment of counsel

and    affirm   for     the    reasons    stated       by     the      district     court.

Gardner    v.   Westberg,      No.   5:09-ct-03086-BO            (E.D.N.C.      March   1,

2011).     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
