PER CURIAM:

     James F. Boyd appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.    We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Boyd v. Stone, No. CA-98-3734-23-6-AK (D.S.C. Feb. 8, 2000).    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
