Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kevin S. Henderson, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Stephen Pauley, LIDE, MONTGOMERY, POTTS & MEDLOCK, P.C., Columbia, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 and various state law claims.

We have reviewed the record, including a transcript of the district

court's oral ruling, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Henderson v. Sloan, No. CA-95-1488-3-17 (D.S.C. Oct. 23, 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
