Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Wilkinson v. Hallsten, No. 5:06-cv-00002 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 2, 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 - 3 -
