    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
    his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record
    and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's
    recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
    in forma pauperis and dismiss on the reasoning of the district
    court. Gaster v. Evatt, No. CA-97-1803-2-20AJ (D.S.C. Dec. 11,
    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.

    DISMISSED
