PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint and various state law claims.

We have reviewed the record, including a transcript of the district

court's oral ruling, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Henderson v. Sloan,
No. CA-95-1488-3-17 (D.S.C. Oct. 23, 1996). 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
