Emory Alvin Michau, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the

magistrate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Michau
v. Davis, No. CA-95-407-6-8AK (D.S.C. Jan. 12, 1996). 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
