PER CURIAM: Emory G. Snell, Jr., appeals the district court’s order deny- ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) 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 Snell v. Rich, No. CA-96-3422-5-11JI (D.S.C. Sept. 30, 1998). We deny Snell’s four motions for appointment of counsel and 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

* The district court properly construed Snell’s complaint as one filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).
