Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Earl Belin appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.    We

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

no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.    See Belin v. McCutheon, No. CA-01-4336-4-25

(D.S.C. May 16, 2003).    Appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal is

denied. 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
