See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Jerry   C.   Pulley   appeals   the   district    court’s   order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and denying relief

on his complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000), based

on Pulley’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies.                Pulley

also appeals the magistrate judge’s orders denying his motions to

amend the complaint and for the appointment of counsel.            We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, see Pulley v.

Rubenstein, No. CA-02-1217-5 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 17, 2004), and by the

magistrate judge, see id. (Dec. 10, 2002; Mar. 10, 2003; Aug. 12,

2003).   We deny Pulley’s motion for the appointment of counsel and

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
