Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. G. Ross Anderson, Jr., District
Judge. (CA-97-3986-6-13AK)


Submitted:   July 22, 1998                 Decided:   August 5, 1998


Before ERVIN, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Donald J. Strable, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).




                                  2
PER CURIAM:

     Donald J. Strable appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Strable v. Simmons, No. CA-97-3986-6-13AK (D.S.C. Feb. 13, 1998).

We deny Strable’s motion for sanctions and 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
