PER CURIAM:

     Ernest Lee Jones appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to the Defendants on Jones’ 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983

(West Supp. 2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recom-

mendation and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.   See Jones v. Ward, No. CA-99-

1248-4-19BF (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 2000). 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
