James L. Padgett, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Foster McLeod, HARRIS & MCLEOD, Cheraw, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

James L. Padgett, Jr., appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his

(West Supp. 1999) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no re-

versible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Padgett v. Moore, No. CA-98-2955-6-12 (D.S.C.

Aug. 31, 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
