PER CURIAM:

       El Shaddai Masada appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on

his complaint construed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).           We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.             See Masada v.

Hammond, No. CA-01-2536-8 (D.S.C. July 22, 2002). 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
