PER CURIAM:

     Ernest Lee Jones appeals the district court’s orders granting

summary judgment to the Defendants on his claims filed pursuant to

42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Jones v. Catoe, No. CA-99-723-4-17-BF (D.S.C. Jan. 21 & Apr. 26,

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
