Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tommy Edwin Jones, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Robert Thomas King, WILLCOX, BUYCK & WILLIAMS, P.A., Florence, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Tommy Edwin Jones, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his

(West Supp. 1999) com-

plaint.* 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 Jones v. Martin, No. CA-97-340-5-22JI (D.S.C.

Mar. 25, 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

* Jones asserts on appeal that a magistrate judge, not a district court judge, issued the final order. The court’s final order does, in fact, identify Cameron McGowan Currie as a magistrate judge. However, Judge Currie is a United States District Judge. The erroneous description of her judicial status is thus merely a clerical mistake that lacks legal significance.
