PER CURIAM:

Charles M. Cassell, III seeks to appeal the district 

court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(g), 1915A(a), (b)(1) (2012). 

Although we conclude that Cassell did not have three qualifying 

previous “strikes” as necessary to justify dismissal under 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), as the district court found, we nonetheless 

affirm for the reasons given by the district court for dismissal 

under § 1915A(a), (b). Cassell v. Dawkins, No. 5:14-cv-00089-

FDW (W.D.N.C. June 16, 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
