Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mo-

tion to obtain a document under Fed. R. Civ. P. 27 and dismissing

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action without prejudice. We have re-

viewed 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. Shores v. Hare, No. CA-96-2716-6-21-AK (D.S.C. Oct. 17,
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
