James F. Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James F. Johnson appeals from the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his civil rights action after he

failed to comply with an order of the magistrate judge, requiring

service of defendants in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i) and

answer special interrogatories by the court.   We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.   See Johnson v. Ashcroft, No.

CA-02-2881-0 (D.S.C. Oct. 24, 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.
