PER CURIAM:
Errol Wright appeals the magistrate judge’s order after a
trial denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999)
complaint.* We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
findings of fact and find no reversible error. The magistrate
judge’s factual findings are not clearly erroneous. See Martin v.
Deiriggi, 985 F.2d 129, 136 (4th Cir. 1992). The magistrate
judge’s credibility determinations will not be disturbed on appeal.
See United States v. Saunders, 886 F.2d 56, 60 (4th Cir. 1989);
McCrary v. Runyon, 515 F.2d 1082, 1086 (4th Cir. 1975). Ac-
cordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
*
The proceedings in this action were conducted by a
magistrate judge pursuant to the consent of the parties. See 28
U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 1999).
