Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint and the magistrate judge’s
order denying Appellant’s motion for appointment of counsel and
stay pending discovery. We have reviewed the record, the district
court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation,
and the magistrate judge’s order denying the motions and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Williams v. Catoe, No. CA-97-451-0-17BD (D.S.C.
Mar. 31, 1998). 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.
AFFIRMED
