PER CURIAM:

     David Babb appeals the district court’s order granting him

partial relief in this civil action, but dismissing his claim

against Defendant Lunsford.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion partially accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Babb v. DEA,

No. CA-97-1553-6-20AK (D.S.C. May 20, 1998). 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
