Michael F. Dehoney, Appellant Pro Se.      Joseph Crouch Coleman,
Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying his

motion to amend his complaint after Appellee moved for summary
judgment (No. 97-6333), and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(1994) complaint (No. 97-6541). We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinions accepting the magistrate judge's recom-

mendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on
the reasoning of the district court. Dehoney v. Cepak, No. CA-96-
1358-21BE (D.S.C. Feb. 12, 1997, and Mar. 14, 1997). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
