PER CURIAM:

Benjamin A. Joyner appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without 

prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) (2012). We have reviewed 

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm 

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

Patterson, No. 0:13-cv-02675-DCN (D.S.C. Aug. 12, 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
