Riccardo Darnell Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Riccardo Darnell Jones appeals the district court’s

order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28

U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2000). We have reviewed the record and

find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Jones v.

Riggs, No. 5:08-cv-00092-GCM (W.D.N.C. Aug. 13, 2008). We deny

Jones’ motion for appointment of counsel 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.

DISMISSED
