3 PER CURIAM:
Allen Powerstein appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his
42 U.S.C.A. S 1983(West 1994 & Supp. 1998) com-
plaint.* 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. Powerstein v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, No. CA-97-
159-5-21 (D.S.C. Dec. 11, 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 deci-
sional process.
AFFIRMED
* Although Powerstein’s claim was filed under S 1983, the district court properly construed it as one under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics,
403 U.S. 388(1971).
