and

Submitted: January 12, 1999 Decided: January 26, 1999

Before ERVIN, HAMILTON, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David A. Babb, Appellant Pro Se. Marvin Jennings Caughman, Assis- tant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

David Babb appeals the district court’s order granting him

partial relief in this civil action, but dismissing his claim

against Defendant Lunsford. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion partially accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Babb v. DEA,

No. CA-97-1553-6-20AK (D.S.C. May 20, 1998). 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
