Before HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dennis M. Roach, Appellant Pro Se. Bradley Alan Norton, BALLENGER, FEDDER, CAIN & NORTON, Seneca, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action as barred by the statute of limitations. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Roach v. Burkhart, No. CA-96-2755-8-13AK (D.S.C. July 15, 1997). 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
