PER CURIAM:

Charles Edward Houston, Jr., appeals the district court’s 

order granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment, denying 

Houston’s motion to file responses out of time, and granting 

sanctions against him for failing to ensure his client was 

present at his depositions and the order denying his motion to 

alter or amend the judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Houston v. Berkeley Hall LLC, No. 9:13-cv-01352-SB

(D.S.C. Nov. 14, 2014; Nov. 25, 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
