See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     George Wertz, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders grant-

ing summary judgment against him on his complaint filed under 42

U.S.C.A. §§ 1983, 1985(3), 1986 (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Wertz v. Foster, No. CA-96-2858-4-22BE (D.S.C. June 5,

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
