See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e) (West Supp. 1997). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the

magistrate judge's recommendation and find that this appeal is
frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. Jihad v. Union City Police Dep't, No. CA-96-
2968-2-22AJ (D.S.C. Jan. 27, 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
