PER CURIAM:

     Gary E. Collins appeals the district court’s orders denying

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

denying reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and orders accepting the magis-

trate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.        See Collins v.

Gardner, No. CA-00-540-7-23-BG (D.S.C. Mar. 30 and June 20, 2001).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
