PER CURIAM:

David Bryant Wicks appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 1998) complaint. 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.*

See Wicks v. Lexington County Jail, No. CA-97-505-3-19BC (D.S.C.

July 2, 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

* We also deny Appellee’s motion for sanctions.
