PER CURIAM:

          Joseph   E.   Macon   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.       We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.              See Macon v.

Beddingfield, No. CA-02-3734-8-26-BI (D.S.C. filed June 7, 2004 &

entered June 8, 2004).     We deny appellees’ motion to dismiss the

appeal. 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
