PER CURIAM:
Harold Jerome Thornton appeals the district court’s
order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six
Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388
(1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. Thornton v. O’Brien, No. 5:12-cv-00074-FPS-JSK
(N.D.W. Va. Aug. 21, 2013). We deny Thornton’s motion to
appoint counsel and dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
