Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(CA-99-102)

Submitted:   May 20, 2002                 Decided:   June 10, 2002

Before WIDENER, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Robert G. McGowan, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Marvin Coleman Jones,
BOGOSLOW & JONES, Walterboro, South Carolina; James Miller Davis,
Jr., DAVIDSON, MORRISON & LINDEMANN, P.A., Columbia, South
Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

                                4
PER CURIAM:

     Robert G. McGowan, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on a multi-plaintiff 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

2001) complaint filed by McGowan and over three hundred other

inmates.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Blackburn v. Moore, No.

CA-99-102 (D.S.C. filed Mar. 28, 2002; entered Mar. 29, 2002).*   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

     *
      We note that the district court filed McGowan’s responses to
its interrogatories as a separate complaint in No. CA-02-389,
McGowan v. Moore, which is still pending before the district court.
McGowan may pursue his claims in that action.
