Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Robert L. Peeler, Sr., appeals from the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action against the district court judge who

presided over his criminal trial. Our review of the record and the

district court’s opinion adopting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court. Peeler v. Herlong, No. CA-

98-1123 (D.S.C. July 10, 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 in the

decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
