See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Nathaniel    Barnes   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief in this civil action.     We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.    See Barnes v. South Carolina Dep’t of Trans.,

No. CA-03-2296-3 (D.S.C. Sept. 16, 2005).         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
