PER CURIAM:
Willie S. Merriweather appeals the district court’s order
granting Appellee’s motion for summary judgment and denying relief
on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Merriweather v. Johnston Police Dep’t, No. CA-97-2037-6-23AK
(D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
