PER CURIAM:

          Joe L. Witherspoon, as personal representative of the

Estate of Marie B. Robinson, appeals the district court’s order

dismissing Witherspoon’s civil action without prejudice for failure

to comply with the magistrate judge’s order to retain counsel.   We

have reviewed the record as supplemented and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.   See Witherspoon v. Jeffords Agency, Inc., No.

CA-02-1831-4-12BH (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 2003); see also Shepherd v.

Wellman, 

, 970-71 (6th Cir. 2002); Pridgen v. Andresen,

, 393 (2d Cir. 1997).   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
