Submitted: January 29, 2004 Decided: February 4, 2004

Edward K. Nelson, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Lynn Masters, MASTERS, MULLINS & ARRINGTON, Louisville, Kentucky; Tommy Evans, Jr., SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF PROBATION, PAROLE & PARDON SERVICES, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Edward K. Nelson appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief without prejudice on his

(2000) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss

the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. See

Nelson v. Parole & Probation Compact Administrators’ Ass’n, No. CA-

03-670-3-13BD (D.S.C. filed Aug. 19, 2003 & entered Aug. 20,

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 process.

DISMISSED
