PER CURIAM:

Michael D. James appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting 

summary judgment to defendants and dismissing 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. James v. Cartledge, No. 

9:15-cv-00625-TLW (D.S.C. Apr. 12, 2016). We deny James’ motion 

for appointment of counsel and 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
