PER CURIAM:

     Ahmad Clarence Garland appeals the district court’s order

denying   relief   on    his    42   U.S.C.A.   §   1983    (West    Supp.   2001)

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.         See Garland v. Catoe, No. CA-00-3024-4-19BF

(D.S.C. Nov. 7, 2001).         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
