Lantz H. Little, Appellant Pro Se. Margaret Beane Seymour, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

complaint against the Department of the Navy. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommenda-

tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Little v.
Department of the Navy, No. CA-95-2144-2-18 (D.S.C. Jan. 26, 1996).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
