PER CURIAM:
     Appellant, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994)

complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the

magistrate judge's recommendation and find that this appeal is
frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. Joseph v. Taylor, No. CA-95-4084-2-17AJ (D.S.C.
Jan. 27, 1997). We deny Appellees' motions to dismiss and for sanc-

tions. 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.

                                                         DISMISSED
