Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Dennis W. Shedd, District Judge. (CA-95-2696-19-BD)

Rickey J. Shepard, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Carson Thomas, BARNES, ALFORD, STORK & JOHNSON, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Before RUSSELL, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

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 affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Shepard v. Pate, No. CA-95-2696-19-BD (D.S.C. Aug. 28, 1996). 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.

¶2

AFFIRMED.
