    Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    March 6, 2002

    Charlton E. Newton, Appellant Pro Se. Scott Douglas MacLatchie,


    WOMBLE, CARLYLE, SANDRIDGE & RICE, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
    Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Charlton E. Newton appeals the district courts order denying
    relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.

    We

    have reviewed the record and the district courts opinion and find
    no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

    the district court.

    See Newton v. Erwin, No. CA-01-47-01-MU

    (W.D.N.C. Nov. 13, 2001).

    We further deny Newtons motion for the

    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
