PER CURIAM: Ephrain Reliford, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his complaint alleging violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Reliford v. Pearson, No. CA-03-1561-3-17BC (D.S.C. filed Feb. 20, 2004 & entered Feb. 23, 2004). 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 -
