Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Batistie v. Loather, No. CA-95-3313-6-12AK (D.S.C. Sept. 30, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
