PER CURIAM:

Habeeb Abdul Malik appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we deny the pending motion and affirm for the reasons stated by 

the district court. See Malik v. Woods, No. 5:14-cv-03473-RBH 

(D.S.C. Nov. 9, 2015). 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
