- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Albert Thomas, Jr. appeals the district court’s order

awarding summary judgment to defendants and dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Thomas v. Hall, No. CA-03-28-40-H (E.D.N.C. Aug. 4, 2004). We

grant Thomas’s motion to supplement his informal brief and deny his

motion to appoint appellate 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
