James E. MacDonald, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Carroll Allen Gibson,
Jr., David Spence Cox, BUIST, MOORE, SMYTHE & MCGEE, Charleston,

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James E. MacDonald appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment in his diversity action alleging defamation,
invasion of privacy, and gross negligence. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary
judgment in favor of the Appellees on the reasoning of the district
court. See MacDonald v. Media Gen. Broad., Inc., CA-99-2185-2-23
(D.S.C., filed Oct. 18, 2001; entered Oct. 19, 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
