Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

Felix Cheesboro, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




PER CURIAM:

     Felix Cheesboro, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court’s order dismissing Defendant Jeffery Bloom from his 42

U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and find that, because the underlying action

has been voluntarily dismissed, this appeal is moot.*   Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal.   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.



                                                           DISMISSED




     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2001).
