See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Joseph Hugo Gibbs appeals three district court orders, the

first affirming a magistrate judge’s order denying Gibbs’ motion to

compel and motion for sanctions in Gibbs’ action filed pursuant to

42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998), the second a district court

order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant

Defendants summary judgment in the action, and the third a district

court order denying his motion for a new trial and motion to amend

the order granting Defendants summary judgment.   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

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

court. See Gibbs v. Moore, No. CA-97-1504 (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 1998).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
