   PER CURIAM:

Ray M. Smith appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint alleging excessive force by prison officers and denying his motion for appointment of counsel. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Smith v. Myers, No. CA-03-366-5-BO (E.D.N.C. filed Oct. 17, 2003; entered Oct. 20, 2003; filed Aug. 23, 2004; entered Aug. 24, 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
