PER CURIAM: 

Christopher Eugene Cook appeals the district court’s 

order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing two of his three claims in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 

(2006) complaint, and affirming the magistrate judge’s order 

denying Cook’s motion for sanctions. We have reviewed the 

record and find no reversible error. Nor does the record 

support Cook’s assertion that the district court is biased 

against him. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by 

the district court. Cook v. Bennett, No. 1:07-cv-00031-JAB-DPD 

(M.D.N.C. Dec. 10, 2008). 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
