Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint and denying his

motion filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate

judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. We also find
no abuse of discretion in the district court's denial of Appel-

lant's Rule 59(e) motion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. Burgess v. Evatt, No. CA-94-1334-10-21BD
(D.S.C. Aug. 7, 1995; Sept. 15, 1995). 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
