See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. Sims v. Brown, No. CA-96-
3650-3-19BC (D.S.C. May 30, 1997). Additionally, we deny Appel-

lant’s motion to supplement the record on appeal. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
