PER CURIAM:
Gerald O. Deel appeals the magistrate judge’s order
dismissing for failure to state a claim Deel’s breach of
contract and defamation complaint. ∗ We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Deel v. Home Depot USA,
Inc., No. 7:08-cv-00856-WMC (D.S.C. Feb. 25, 2009). 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
∗
The parties consented to the magistrate judge’s
jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
