PER CURIAM:

     James E. MacDonald appeals the district court’s grant of

summary judgment in his diversity action alleging defamation,

invasion of privacy, and gross negligence.    We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary

judgment in favor of the Appellees on the reasoning of the district

court.   See MacDonald v. Media Gen. Broad., Inc., CA-99-2185-2-23

(D.S.C., filed Oct. 18, 2001; entered Oct. 19, 2001).   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
