JEFF HAMMOND, Clerk of Court, Lancaster County; ROBERT E. PETERSEN, Deputy General Counsel, SCDC; LEE S. ALFORD, Circuit Court Judge,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Anderson. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., Chief District Judge. (CA-01-2536-8)

Submitted: December 16, 2002 Decided: December 19, 2002

Before LUTTIG, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

El Shaddai Masada, Appellant Pro Se. David Leon Morrison, Matthew Blaine Rosbrugh, DAVIDSON, MORRISON & LINDEMANN, P.A., Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

El Shaddai Masada appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on

his complaint construed under

(2000). We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Masada v.

Hammond, No. CA-01-2536-8 (D.S.C. July 22, 2002). 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
