Robert Gordon Cooper, OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, David Leon Morrison, Matthew Blain Rosbrugh, DAVIDSON, MORRISON & LINDEMANN, P.A., Columbia, South Carolina for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Richard A. Patterson appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Patterson v. The City of Columbia, No. CA-02-2336-3 (D.S.C. Dec. 29, 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.
