PER CURIAM:

     William Clayton McKinney appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) com-

plaint.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See McKinney v. Doherty, No. CA-00-3971-6-20AK

(D.S.C. Sept. 4, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
