PER CURIAM:

Willie Joe Sturkey appeals the district court’s order 

accepting in part 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 his motions to appoint counsel and affirm 

for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sturkey v. 

Dir. of SCDC, No. 2:13-cv-03451-RMG (D.S.C. Nov. 17, 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
