Marion Beasley, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Yvonne Bulluck Ricci, NORTH
CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Marion Beasley, Jr., appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
substantially for the reasons stated by the district court.
Beasley v. Wood, No. 1:05-cv-00850-NCT (M.D.N.C. Sept. 21, 2007).
Moreover, although not specifically addressed by the district
court, Beasley’s claim under the Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act, Pub. L. No. 106-274, 114 Stat. 804,
42 U.S.C. § 2000cc-1(a) (2000) (“RLUIPA”), may be dismissed for the
same reasons as his § 1983 claim. See Lovelace v. Lee, 472 F.3d
174, 185-86 (4th Cir. 2006). 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
