PER CURIAM:

     E. Yvette Barnes appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Paul H. Hulsey in her diversity action in which

she raised claims of legal malpractice, fraud, and intentional

infliction of emotional distress.   We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.*     Ac-

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

Barnes v. Hulsey, No. CA-96-2939-23-2 (D.S.C. July 10, 1998).    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




     *
       In her informal brief, Barnes explicitly has abandoned on
appeal her claims of fraud and intentional infliction of emotional
distress.
