Jimmy Bowman, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jimmy Bowman appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and conclude that the Appellee was entitled to

derivative absolute judicial immunity. McCray v. Maryland, 456

F.2d 1, 5 (4th Cir. 1972). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
