Frank Boston appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action and a subsequent order denying his motion to alter or amend judgment. We have reviewed the *213 record and the district court’s opinion declining to accept the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Boston v. Padula, No. 9:07-cv-00950-PMD (D.S.C. Oct. 10 & Nov. 1, 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.
