Submitted: February 28, 2008 Decided: March 5, 2008

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Randy L. Valentine, Appellant Pro Se. Nathaniel Heyward Clarkson, III, Edward Grainger Smith, Amy Miller Snyder, CLARKSON, WALSH, RHENEY & TERRELL, PA, Greenville, South Carolina, Anne Ross Culbreath, 13TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT SOLICITOR’S OFFICE, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Randy L. Valentine appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

his motion to amend, denying his motion for default judgment,

granting summary judgment in favor of Appellee, and dismissing his

civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no

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

the district court. Valentine v. Dodd, No. 4:06-cv-01617-HMH

(D.S.C. June 11, 2007 & July 17, 2007). 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
