    Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Karim Abdul Akbar appeals the district courts order denying
    relief on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (2000) complaint.

    We have reviewed

    the record and the district courts opinion and find no reversible
    error.

    Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

    district court.*

    Akbar v. Director of North Carolina Prisons, No.

    CA-98-361-5-F (E.D.N.C. filed Mar. 27, 2002; entered Mar. 28,


    2002).

    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

    We decline to address Akbars claim under the Religious Land


    Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106-274,
    114 Stat. 803, because this claim was not properly presented to the
    district court and Akbar has not averred, much less demonstrated,
    that plain error or a miscarriage of justice will result from the
    failure to review it. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250
    (4th Cir. 1993).
