PER CURIAM:

Jabbar J. Straws appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting 

summary judgment to defendants and dismissing without prejudice 

this action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Straws 

v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corr., No. 5:13-cv-01802-BHH (D.S.C. 

Mar. 31, 2015). 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
