Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals various pre-trial orders of the magistrate judge. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's order awarding Appellant damages in his negligence suit against the Appellee and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the orders and judgment of the magistrate judge. Martin v. Goodyear Auto Serv., No. CA-94-3415-3-17BC (D.S.C. Oct. 23, 1996). We dis- pense 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
