See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Joe L. Witherspoon, as personal representative of the Estate of Marie B. Robinson, appeals the district court’s order dismissing Witherspoon’s civil action without prejudice for failure to comply with the magistrate judge’s order to retain counsel. We have reviewed the record as supplemented and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Witherspoon v. Jeffords Agency, Inc., No. CA-02-1831-4-12BH (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 2003); see also Shepherd v. Wellman, 313 F.3d 963, 970-71 (6th Cir. 2002); Pridgen v. Andresen, 113 F.3d 391, 393 (2d Cir. 1997). 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 -
