PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his civil complaint. Appellant asserted claims of fraud, misrepre-

sentation, breach of contract, and job discrimination based on his

race. The district court granted summary judgment on all claims and

as to all Defendants except for Appellant's breach of contract
claim against Defendant Collier Health Services, Inc. Because the

only surviving claim was based on state law and Appellant's claim

of damages failed to satisfy the jurisdictional amount, the dis-

trict court remanded this claim to state court for disposition. 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.

Purswani v. Fortune Personnel Consultants of Columbia, No. CA-95-
85-3-17BD (D.S.C. Aug. 16, 1996). 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 deci-

sional process.
