PER CURIAM:

     Willie S. Merriweather appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) com-

plaint.   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.     See Merriweather v. Edgefield County Sheriff’s

Dep’t, No. CA-97-1890-6-23AK (D.S.C. Jun. 23, 1998).       We deny

Merriweather’s motion to subpoena witnesses. 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
