PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Salter v. Glenn, No. CA-96-3391-3-19BD (D.S.C. Nov. 15,

1996). We grant Respondent Alford’s motion to dismiss him as a

party. 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.
