PER CURIAM:
James Austin appeals the district court’s orders dismissing
his Bivens* action based upon his treatment as an employee of the
United States Postal Service and denying his motion for recon-
sideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Austin v. Foster, No. CA-98-
3811-0-17 (D.S.C. May 19 & June 9, 2000). 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
