PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting the

Defendants' motion for summary judgment in Appellant's action

alleging improper interference with his mail. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommenda-

tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Mattison
v. Brown, No. CA-94-2610-9-6JC (D.S.C. Nov. 19, 1996). 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.
