Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint and denying his motion to amend his complaint. We dismiss as interlocutory Appel- lant's first appeal of the district court's denial of his motion to amend his complaint. (No. 95-6672). In Appellant's second appeal (No. 95-7611), we have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions accepting the magistrate judge's recommendations and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Nelson v. Hopkins, No. CA-94-2217-2-18-AJ (D.S.C. Mar. 28, 1995; Sept. 29, 1995). 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.
