PER CURIAM:
Joshua Fluellen appeals the district court’s order and
judgment adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
granting summary judgment to the Defendants and dismissing his
claim of deliberate indifference to a serious medical need. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Fluellen
v. Epstein, No. CA-02-2091 (D.S.C. Aug. 21, 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
