No. 96-6539

MICHAEL CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; G. P. MIRO, Warden; ALLENDALE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., District Judge. (CA-95-1295-6-20AK)

Submitted: December 11, 1997 Decided: December 23, 1997

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

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Campbell, Appellant Pro Se. Marvin Coleman Jones, Christy Scott Stephens, BOGOSLOW & JONES, Walterboro, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his

(1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court.* Campbell v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corr., No. CA-95-1295-6-20-AK (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 1996). 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

* To the extent that Appellant raises a claim under the Reli- gious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), this claim fails. See City of Boerne v. Flores,

(1997) (holding that Con- gress exceeded its power under the Fourteenth Amendment by applying RFRA to the states).
