PER CURIAM:

Jon J. Runge appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and 

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. See Runge v. Sanford, No. 6:08-cv-00231-GRA (Aug. 21 & 

Oct. 2, 2009). 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
