FIRM, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals various pre-trial orders of the magistrate

judge. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's order

awarding Appellant damages in his negligence suit against the

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

orders and judgment of the magistrate judge. Martin v. Goodyear
Auto Serv., No. CA-94-3415-3-17BC (D.S.C. Oct. 23, 1996). We dis-

pense 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
