PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated appeals, Norris Ross, a South Carolina

pre-trial   detainee,   appeals    from    the    district    court’s   orders

accepting the reports and recommendations of a magistrate judge and

dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petitions

for lack of jurisdiction. Our review of the record and the district

court’s opinions discloses no reversible error.              Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.            Ross v. South

Carolina, Nos. CA-03-2169-2; CA-03-2205-2-18AJ (D.S.C. filed Aug.

6, 2003 & entered Aug. 7, 2003; Aug. 13, 2003).              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




                                                                     AFFIRMED
