PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint and denying his motion to

amend the court's order. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommenda-

tion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. Dehoney v. South Carolina Dep't of
Corrections, No. CA-94-1902-4-21BE (D.S.C. Aug. 2, 1996; Aug. 26,

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.
