    Benjamin JOYNER, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    Andrew RILEY, Chief, Warden Horton, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 87-6687.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Dec. 18, 1987.
    Decided Jan. 26, 1988.

    Benjamin Joyner, appellant pro se.


    Robert Peterson, South Carolina Department of Corrections, for appellees.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and
    BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
    recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal from its order
    refusing relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 is without merit. Because the
    dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with
    oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district
    court. Joyner v. Riley, C/A No. 3:87-254-K (D.S.C. Oct. 8, 1987).

    AFFIRMED.
