Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Walter Clayton Ruff, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation 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.     Ruff v. Bowers, No. 8:12-cv-03522-MGL (D.S.C. Feb. 19,

2014).      We   further        deny   Ruff’s    motion      for    appointment   of

counsel.     We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal    contentions     are     adequately     presented      in    the   materials

before    this   court    and    argument     would    not   aid    the    decisional

process.

                                                                             AFFIRMED

                                          2
