See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief in

this action challenging the adequacy of his medical care under both

Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403

U.S. 388 (1971), and 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Runnells v.

Lappin, No. CA-97-398-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Dec. 3, 1997). 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.
