Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b) (2012).     We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.    Simmons v. Hugh Chatham Hosp., No. 1:13-

cv-00677-WO-JLW (M.D.N.C. Oct. 22, 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
