PER CURIAM:

Thomas Stout, Jr., appeals the district court’s order 

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

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Stout v. Garner Police Dep’t, No. 5:15-ct-03105-BO 

(E.D.N.C. Aug. 12, 2016). We deny Appellees’ motion to strike 

Stout’s pro se supplemental brief. 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
