Ronald Floyd Jackson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's

recommended disposition and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm the order of the district court. We note that although
the Appellant's claim was not time-barred, see S.C. Code Ann. § 15-
4-30(3) (Law. Co-op. 1977) (repealed 1996); see also Fed. R. Civ.
P. 6(a), the district court properly dismissed the complaint be-

cause it failed to state a claim of deliberate indifference to a

serious medical need. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 105-06

(1976); see also Miltier v. Beorn, 896 F.2d 848, 851-52 (4th Cir.
1990); Cooper v. Dyke, 814 F.2d 941, 945 (4th Cir. 1987). We dis-

pense 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.
