PER CURIAM:

James Darnell Scott appeals the district court’s order 

adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge 

and granting summary judgment to Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 (2012) action. In light of our recent decision in 

Incumaa v. Stirling, __ F.3d __, 2015 WL 3973822 (4th Cir. 

July 1, 2015), we vacate the district court’s order and remand 

for further proceedings consistent with Incumaa. 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.

VACATED AND REMANDED
