PER CURIAM:

     M. Rodney Jones appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Jones’ motions

for appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.   See Jones v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corr., No.

CA-02-1109-24-3 (D.S.C. filed Dec. 24, 2002 & entered Dec. 26,

2002).   We deny Jones’ motion for 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
