PER CURIAM:

              William Clayton McKinnedy, III, appeals the district

court’s orders substantially accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate        judge    and       denying    relief       on   his    42    U.S.C.   § 1983

(2006) complaint and denying his motion for reconsideration. ∗                              We

have       reviewed       the    record        and    find        no    reversible      error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.        McKinnedy         v.   Reynolds,       No.     6:08-cv-03169-HMH          (D.S.C.

Feb. 5, 2010).            We deny McKinnedy’s motion for appointment of

counsel and 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

       ∗
       Because the case was dismissed on summary judgment, the
district   court   did   not   adopt   the   magistrate   judge’s
recommendation to count the dismissal as a “strike” for purposes
of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2006).

                                                3
