See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Joshua   Fluellen   appeals   the   district   court’s    order   and

judgment adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,

granting summary judgment to the Defendants and dismissing his

claim of deliberate indifference to a serious medical need. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.      See Fluellen

v. Epstein, No. CA-02-2091 (D.S.C. Aug. 21, 2003).            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
