PER CURIAM:

Dennis A. Givens appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing Givens’ complaint in part and granting summary 

judgment in part. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Givens v. Weaver, No. 5:12-cv-00145-FPSJES (N.D.W. Va. July 1 & Aug. 27, 2014). We deny Givens’ motion 

for sanctions and to strike. 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
