See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     John Cordero appeals the district court’s order denying relief

in his civil diversity action.        He also appeals the district

court’s and magistrate judge’s orders denying his motion to recuse.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant summary

judgment in favor of Appellees and find no reversible error.   Nor

do we find any abuse of discretion in the district court’s or

magistrate judge’s denial of the motion to recuse. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Cordero v. Mobley,

No. CA-98-2334-3-17BD (D.S.C. filed Aug. 12, 1999, and entered

Aug. 13, 1999; filed Oct. 8, 1999, and entered Oct. 13, 1999;

entered Feb. 28, 2001; entered Mar. 2, 2001).     We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
