PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals that portion of the district court's order

denying relief on his

(1994) complaint relating to

Appellees' taking of funds from him without court order for payment

into a victim's compensation fund. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion as to this issue and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. Smith v. Evatt, No. CA-95-317-6-OAK (D.S.C. Sept. 16, 1996). We decline to review any claims Appellant seeks to raise for

the first time on appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
