See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's
recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
on the reasoning of the district court.* Campbell v. South Carolina
Dep’t of Corr., No. CA-95-1295-6-20-AK (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 1996). 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
*
To the extent that Appellant raises a claim under the Reli-
gious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), this claim fails. See City of
Boerne v. Flores, 117 S. Ct. 2157, 2159 (1997) (holding that Con-
gress exceeded its power under the Fourteenth Amendment by applying
RFRA to the states).
