MCDONALD, PATRICK, TINSLEY, BAGGETT & POSTON, Greenwood, South

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ahmad Clarence Garland appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001)
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. See Garland v. Catoe, No. CA-00-3024-4-19BF
(D.S.C. Nov. 7, 2001). 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
