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(A) (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. Johnson v. Board of Corrections, No. CA-96-
2555-2-10AJ (D.S.C. Mar. 13, 1997). We deny the motion to appoint
counsel and 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.
DISMISSED
