Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Williams appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint against the
Warden of the Maryland Reception Diagnostic and Classification
Center and Correctional Medical Services, Inc. We have reviewed
the record and affirm the district court’s dismissal of Williams’
claims for the reasons stated by the district court. See Williams
v. Warden, No. 8:06-cv-01954-AW (D. Md. filed Jan. 18, 2007;
entered Jan. 22, 2007). We also affirm the district court’s denial
of Williams’ motion to amend because the amendment would have been
futile, see United States v. Smith, 395 F.3d 516, 519 (4th Cir.
2005); United States v. Pittman, 209 F.3d 314, 317 (4th Cir. 2000),
and deny Williams’ motion for the appointment of 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
