    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    George Wertz, Jr., appeals the district courts orders granting summary judgment against him on his complaint filed under 42
    U.S.C.A. 1983, 1985(3), 1986 (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed
    the record and the district courts opinions and find no reversible
    error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
    court. Wertz v. Foster, No. CA-96-2858-4-22BE (D.S.C. June 5,
    1998). 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
