PER CURIAM:
Gary L. Walker appeals the district court’s order
overruling his objection to the order of the magistrate judge
implementing the special master’s award distributing the settlement
in a class action lawsuit. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the district court’s
reasoning that the class size and award distribution were correctly
calculated. See Walker v. IMC Global, Inc., No. CA-02-3608-13AK-7
(D.S.C. Oct. 7, 2003). 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
