PER CURIAM:

Shadreck Kifayatuthelezi appeals the district court’s order accepting the 

recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting summary judgment to the Appellees, 

and dismissing Kifayatuthelezi’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) civil rights claims and his claims 

under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§ 15-78-10 to 15-78-220. We 

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

reasons stated by the district court. Kifayatuthelezi v. S.C. Dep’t of Corr., No. 8:17-cv03139-TLW (D.S.C. Sept. 25, 2019). 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
