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)(2)(B)(i) (West Supp. 1997). We
have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find
that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
on the reasoning of the district court. Moore v. Stevens, No. CA-
96-3516-23-4 (D.S.C. Aug. 14, 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
