Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Martin L. Stringer, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. John Robert Murphy, MURPHY & GRANTLAND, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Martin L. Stringer, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Stringer

v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., No. CA-98-3355-3-17 (D.S.C. Apr. 26,

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
