Parties in Interest.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Spartanburg. G. Ross Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (CA-02-3608-13AK-7)

Submitted: October 25, 2004 Decided: January 5, 2005

Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gary L. Walker, Appellant Pro Se. Beattie B. Ashmore, PRICE, PASCHAL & ASHMORE, PA, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

- 3 - PER CURIAM:

Gary L. Walker appeals the district court’s order

overruling his objection to the order of the magistrate judge

implementing the special master’s award distributing the settlement

in a class action lawsuit. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the district court’s

reasoning that the class size and award distribution were correctly

calculated. See Walker v. IMC Global, Inc., No. CA-02-3608-13AK-7

(D.S.C. Oct. 7, 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.

AFFIRMED
