PER CURIAM:
Ron Campbell appeals the district court’s order denying relief
on his complaint, filed under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999).
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 Campbell v. Stafford, No. CA-99-511-2-
MU (W.D.N.C. Mar. 30, 1999).* We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
In his informal brief to this court, Campbell suggests that
he was a pretrial detainee at the time of the challenged incident,
a fact that was not stated in his complaint. However, even if he
was a pretrial detainee, the district court properly denied relief.
