US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 48 F.3d 1216 (4th Cir. 1995) Submitted: Feb. 16, 1995Decided: March 3, 1995

James Furtick, Appellant Pro Se. Leslie Arlen Cotter, Jr., Anne Macon Flynn, RICHARDSON, PLOWDEN, GRIER & HOWSER, Columbia, SC, for Appellees.

Before HAMILTON and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Furtick v. Gordon, No. CA-93-1503-5-OBC (D.S.C. May 13, 1994). 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.
