PER CURIAM:

     Michael Anthony Hunter appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint.

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

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no re-

versible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Hunter v. Patel, No. CA-97-2891-0-12BD (D.S.C.

Sept. 22, 1998).   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
