Arthur H. Keels, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer J. Aldrich, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

     Arthur H. Keels appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary

judgment in favor of Defendant and the order denying Keels’ motion

filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).    We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Keels v. Sec’y, Dep’t of Health & Human

Servs., No. CA-01-4864-3-17BD (D.S.C. filed Feb. 6, 2003, and

entered Feb. 7, 2003; Feb. 21, 2003).         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
