PER CURIAM:

      M. Rodney Jones appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on

his   42   U.S.C.   §   1983   (2000),   complaint   under   28   U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (2000).    We have reviewed the record and find that

this appeal is frivolous.      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.      See Jones v. South Carolina,

No. CA-02-157-3-24 (D.S.C. Sept. 17, 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.




                                                              DISMISSED
