PER CURIAM:

            Chante’ N. Hodge and Harold H. Hodge, Jr., appeal the

district court’s orders granting summary judgment in favor of

Defendants in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) civil rights action

and denying the Hodges’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or

amend   judgment.     We    have    reviewed    the    record     and   find    no

reversible    error   in    the    district    court’s    grant    of   summary

judgment in Defendants’ favor.             Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.           Hodge v. St. Mary’s Cnty.

Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. 8:08-cv-02522-PJM (D. Md. June 22, 2009).

We further find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s

denial of the Hodges’ Rule 59(e) motion and affirm that order.

See Pacific Ins. Co. v. Am. Nat’l Fire Ins. Co., 148 F.3d 396,

402-03 (4th Cir. 1998).       We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials    before   the   court    and    argument     would    not   aid    the

decisional process.

                                                                        AFFIRMED
