PER CURIAM:

     Michael C. Baxley appeals from the district court’s orders:

(1) denying his motion to amend his complaint; (2) denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint; and (3)

denying his motion for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Baxley v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-98-2344-6-

17AK (D.S.C. Jan. 8; June 4; and Oct. 7, 1999).   We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
