PER CURIAM: Willie Joe Sturkey appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, See

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Sturkey v. Ozmint, No. 8:07-cv-03296-MBS (D.S.C. Oct. 1, 2008). 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
