Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Edwin Alston appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the Appellees and dismissing his civil rights com- plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Alston v. Lawrence, No. CA-99-244-9-19RB (D.S.C. Apr. 3, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
