Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

         Kay F. Paschal appeals from the district court’s order adopting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Defendants

in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action. On appeal, Paschal questions whether

the district court erred in granting summary judgment to Defendants. However, because

Paschal has not presented this claim in accordance with Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(8)(A)

(“[T]he [appellant’s] argument . . . must contain . . . appellant’s contentions and the

reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of the record on which the

appellant relies.”), we deem it abandoned. Jacobs v. N.C. Admin. Office of the Courts,

780 F.3d 562, 568 n.7 (4th Cir. 2015); Wahi v. Charleston Area Med. Ctr., Inc., 562 F.3d

599, 607 (4th Cir. 2009); Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir.

2004).

         Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
