                               OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Larry L. Pressley seeks to appeal the district court’s order accept-
ing the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and the district court’s opinion and to the extent that Pressley’s objec-
tions to the magistrate judge’s report were sufficient to preserve
appellate review, there was no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Pressley v. Doe,
No. CA-02-4020 (D.S.C. July 16, 2003); see also Wright v. Collins,

, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); Orpiano v. Johnson, 

, 47 (4th Cir. 1982). Because, however, Pressley’s action was dis-
missed upon a grant of summary judgment to the Defendants, we
vacate the district court’s order to the extent it assessed a strike pursu-
ant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (2000). 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 IN PART; VACATED IN PART
