Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. David C. Norton, District Judge.
(CA-99-218-18AK)


Submitted:   April 29, 1999                    Decided:   May 5, 1999


Before WILLIAMS, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Herbert Curtis, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Herbert Curtis appeals the district court’s order denying re-

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

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

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss

the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See Curtis v.

Furnel, No. CA-99-218-18AK (D.S.C. Mar. 2, 1999). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
