D.S.C.

AFFIRMED.

Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint and denying his motion filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. We also find no abuse of discretion in the district court's denial of Appellant's Rule 59(e) motion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Burgess v. Evatt, No. CA-94-1334-10-21BD (D.S.C. Aug. 7, 1995; Sept. 15, 1995). 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
