- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Ceferina Gayo Hess appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on Hess’ civil action concerning her discharge from Lander

University. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Hess v. Lander Univ., No. 8:04-cv-01474-GRA

(D.S.C. Feb. 17, 2006). 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
