Robert Barnwell Clarkson, Appellant Pro Se. Frances Cornelia Trapp,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Robert Barnwell Clarkson appeals the district court’s orders

denying his “motion for a new trial” and granting summary judgment

to the Defendant in his Freedom of Information Act request.     We

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

orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See Clarkson v. White House Coun-

sel, No. CA-97-3833-8-08BD (D.S.C. June 24 & July 23, 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
