Michael F. Dehoney, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint and denying his motion to

amend said order. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. Dehoney v. Jones, No.
CA-96-2746-4-21BE (D.S.C. Mar. 12 and Apr. 18, 1997). 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.
