PER CURIAM:

          James   Benton   appeals   the   district   court’s    orders

(1) affirming the magistrate judge’s denial of Benton’s motion for

the appointment of counsel, and (2) accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and denying relief on Benton’s 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.   See Benton v. Ozmint, No. CA-04-905 (D.S.C.

July 1, 2004; Oct. 27, 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

                               - 2 -
