PER CURIAM:

     James Elliott McNeil appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order accept-

ing the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See McNeil v. Catoe, No. CA-99-1101-2-10AJ (D.S.C. Mar. 31,

2000).   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
