Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Eric Samuel, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Lynwood Brown, Russell Grainger Hines, Wilbur Eugene Johnson, YOUNG, CLEMENT & RIVERS, LLP, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 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
