PER CURIAM:

     George Adams, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find

that this appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court.   See Adams v. Harrison, No.

CA-98-810-5-6JI (D.S.C. Nov. 18, 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.




                                                          DISMISSED
