PER CURIAM:

          Appellant appeals the district court's order denying re-

lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. Rashid v. Raibel,
No. CA-96-726-4-OBE (D.S.C. Jan. 17, 1997). 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.
