Ricky Cox, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ricky Cox appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his action filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the

Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). 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.   Cox v. Sawyer,

No. CA-00-3588-9-19-BG (D.S.C. filed Feb. 15, 2002 & entered Feb.

19, 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
