We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Alexander v. Doe, No. CA-97-2786-6-20 (D.S.C. July 28, 1998). 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 2
