PER CURIAM: Ernest Lee Jones appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Defendants on Jones’ 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recom- mendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Jones v. Ward, No. CA-99- 1248-4-19BF (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 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 2
