PER CURIAM:

James M. Tennant appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on Tennant’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint, and 

denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend that 

judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the 

district court. See Tennant v. City of Georgetown, No. 2:12-cv00370-RMG (D.S.C. Aug. 18, 2014 & Sept. 19, 2014). We dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
