Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

John T. Copley, Appellant Pro Se. Herbert Joseph Stapleton, III, HUDDLESTON, BOLEN, BEATTY, PORTER & COPEN, Huntington, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

John T. Copley appeals from the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrtate judge and

dismissing his action in which he sought recovery of damages from

the former trustee of his bankruptcy estate, counsel for the

trustee, and the trustee’s bonding company. We have reviewed the

record and the opinion of the district court and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Copley v. Holbrook, No. CA-01-782-3 (S.D.W. Va. Sept.

26, 2002). We deny Copley’s motions to supplement the record and

for correction of the bankruptcy court’s docket sheet and 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
