PER CURIAM:

           Jathiyah abdur-Rahman al-Bayyinah appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and granting summary judgment in favor of corrections officials in

al-Bayyinah’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action alleging violation of

his First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.            We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we

affirm   for   the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.   Al-

Bayyinah v. Hudson, No. 5:02-ct-00462-F (E.D.N.C. Sept. 25, 2006).

We also deny al-Bayyinah’s motion for appointment of counsel.           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
