PER CURIAM:

       Wendell Leonard Cruse appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to the Appellees

in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Cruse v. Blackburn,

No. 3:17-cv-00485 (S.D.W. Va. June 3, 2019). 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

                                             3
