PER CURIAM:

     John Douglas Alexander appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.

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

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

ible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.    Alexander v. Gunn, No. CA-96-783-7-24AK (D.S.C. July

31, 2000).     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.
