PER CURIAM:

     Earnest Edward Vaughn 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 Vaughn v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corr., No.

CA-00-3144 (D.S.C. Feb. 21, 2002).         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
