PER CURIAM:

      Herbert McDowell appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2002) complaint.            We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

McDowell v. Jernigan, No. CA-01-2065-3-22BC (D.S.C. Feb. 22, 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
