PER CURIAM:

               Harold    Jerome    Thornton      appeals     the   district    court’s

order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on his 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.          Thornton v. O’Brien, No. 5:12-cv-00074-FPS-JSK

(N.D.W.    Va.    Aug.    21,     2013).        We    deny   Thornton’s   motion      to

appoint    counsel      and   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
