PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen- dants' motions to dismiss Appellant's federal law claims alleging civil rights violations, declining jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims, and denying Appellant's motion to file amended pleadings. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Lang v. McGowan, No. CA-96-1430-4-22BD (D.S.C. Dec. 9, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
