PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing Appel-

lant’s civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Thomas v. Glidden Company, No. CA-

96-3176-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 1998). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.
