Before WILKINS, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

PATRICK, TINSLEY, BAGGETT & POSTON, Greenwood, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Gary R. Slezak appeals from the denial of relief on his 42

U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

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

court.* Slezak v. Catoe, No. CA-99-1798-22RB (D.S.C. Sept. 7, 2000;

filed Nov. 14, 2000, entered Nov. 17, 2000; Dec. 19, 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




     *
       Although the district court states in its November 2000
order that Slezak retained the right to pursue claims other than
his First Amendment claim, its September 2000 order states that
summary judgment was entered against Slezak with prejudice as to
all other claims. Therefore, the statement in the court’s November
2000 order is erroneous.
