See Local Rule 36(c).

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).
