PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment to the Appellees in Appellant's complaint alleging viola-

tions of

(1994), the Higher Education Act of 1965,

and various state laws. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Finley v. Babin, No. CA-95-2853-3-23 (D.S.C. Aug. 7, 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
