PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders dismiss-
ing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We
have reviewed the record in appeal number 96-6429 and the district
court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. St. John v. Smith, No. CA-95-4043-6-3-AK (D.S.C. Mar.
5, 1996). Our disposition of appeal number 96-6429 renders appeal
number 96-6693 moot. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma
pauperis and dismiss appeal number 96-6693 as well. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
