PER CURIAM:

Wilbur Kenneth Little appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing this appeal for want of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen-

dation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Little v. American Gen. Fin., No. CA-98-1365-2-18-AJ (D.S.C. Mar.

12, 1999). 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

* We originally dismissed this appeal as untimely. Little filed a petition for rehearing and enclosed a document, previously not before the court, revealing that he filed a notice of appeal on April 9, 1999, within the time period set forth in Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1). Because Little timely filed his notice of appeal, we grant the petition for rehearing.
