PER CURIAM:

     Richard A. Carolina appeals the district court’s orders deny-

ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint

and declining to reconsider that order.       See Fed. R. Civ. P. 59.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting   the   magistrate   judge’s   recommendation   and   find   no

reversible error.    Moreover, the district court did not abuse its

discretion in declining to reconsider its order.      Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.        See Carolina v.

Department of Corrections, No. CA-97-1312-6-17AK (D.S.C. Feb. 10,

1998; Mar. 16, 1998).    We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
