Anthony Bernard Burnside appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment in his action alleging due process violations and defamation of character. Burnside also appeals the district court’s order denying his Fed.R.Civ.P. 52 and 59 motions for amendment and reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Burnside v. Kinlaw, No. CA-00-1175-8-20AK (D.S.C. Apr. 2, 2001). 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.
