PER CURIAM:

             Rickie Edward Wilkinson, individually and doing business

as Rickie’s One Stop, and Dawn Swink Wilkinson appeal the district

court’s order denying relief on their 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.      See Wilkinson v. Hallsten, No. 5:06-cv-00002

(W.D.N.C. Aug. 2, 2006).        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

                                      - 3 -
