OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Eric Domain Glover appeals the district court's orders denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. ยง 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint and
denying his subsequent motions for reconsideration, to amend the
facts, and for a new trial. We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion rejecting the magistrate judge's recommendation and
find no reversible error.
A prisoner's claim that officials failed to protect him from harm is
analyzed as a challenge to the prisoner's conditions of confinement,
rather than as an allegation of excessive force. See Farmer v. Bren-
nan,
511 U.S. 825, 833 (1994); see also Babcock v. White,
102 F.3d
267, 273 (7th Cir. 1996). Although the district court here incorrectly
analyzed Glover's claims under the latter approach, Glover neverthe-
less failed to show that he suffered a "serious or significant physical
or mental injury" as a result of the Defendants' conduct. See Strickler
v. Waters,
989 F.2d 1375, 1381 (4th Cir. 1993) (setting standard for
analyzing conditions of confinement claims).
Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See Glover v. Mosley, No. CA-98-3427-2-20AJ (D.S.C.
Oct. 5, 1999). 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.
