PER CURIAM:

Gregory Vincent Smith appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint and denying 

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Smith v. Phillips, No. 1:14-cv-03161-RBH 

(D.S.C. Feb. 2 & Mar. 3, 2016). We also deny Smith’s motion to 

assign counsel. 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
