PER CURIAM:

Fred D. Douty 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 and denying Douty’s motion 

to amend his amended complaint. We have reviewed the record and 

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Douty v. Ballard, No. 

2:13-cv-24714 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 18, 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
