PER CURIAM:

Kenneth Rivera appeals the district court’s order accepting 

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 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. Rivera v. Leonard, 

No. 5:15-cv-01191-DCN (D.S.C. June 17, 2016). 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
