* The Appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal for Appellant's failure to properly serve his informal brief is hereby denied. 2 PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. * Grant v. Weldon

, No. CA- 96-346-4-17BE (D.S.C. Mar. 28, 1997). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process. AFFIRMED
