2 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Norris Ross, a South Carolina

pre-trial detainee, appeals from the district court’s orders

accepting the reports and recommendations of a magistrate judge and

dismissing without prejudice his

(2000) petitions

for lack of jurisdiction. Our review of the record and the district

court’s opinions discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Ross v. South

Carolina, Nos. CA-03-2169-2; CA-03-2205-2-18AJ (D.S.C. filed Aug.

6, 2003 & entered Aug. 7, 2003; Aug. 13, 2003). 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

AFFIRMED
