PER CURIAM:

           Ephrain Reliford, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his complaint alleging violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of

Narcotics, 

 (1971).    We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.       See Reliford v. Pearson, No.

CA-03-1561-3-17BC (D.S.C. filed Feb. 20, 2004 & entered Feb. 23,

2004).   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
