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. Williams v. Moore, No. CA- 96-584-0-17BD (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 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
