OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Robert Lee Williams appeals from the district court's order awarding judgment to the Defendants in Williams' civil rights action. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting in part, and modifying in part, the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that Williams' claims are without arguable merit and there was no abuse of discretion in the imposition of sanctions. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* Williams v. Catoe, No. CA-90-1424-OH (D.S.C. June 27, 1991). 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
We grant the motion of appellees James E. Knight, Jr., and the Law Offices of James E. Knight, Jr., to dismiss this appeal insofar as it concerns them
