PER CURIAM:

            Eric    Samuel     appeals       the    district     court’s      order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his

civil rights claim, to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over

Samuel’s    legal   malpractice       claim,       and    to   grant   Defendants

summary    judgment.     We    have   reviewed      the    record   and   find   no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.           See Samuel v. Proctor, No. 3:07-cv-

01586-PMD     (D.S.C.   June    25,   2008).         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
