PER CURIAM:

Raymond Edward Chestnut appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown 

Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).* 

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Chestnut v. McCoy, No. 1:13-cv-01814-RBH (D.S.C. Aug. 

20, 2014). Chestnut’s motions for appointment of counsel are 

denied. 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

 * The district court adopted the magistrate judge’s report 

and recommendation as modified to reflect that the action is 

deemed a strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (2012) due to 

its frivolousness.
