PER CURIAM:

     Dennis    A.    Givens   appeals        the     district    court’s    orders

accepting     the   recommendations       of       the   magistrate   judge     and

dismissing    Givens’    complaint      in     part      and    granting    summary

judgment in part.         We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.        Givens v. Weaver, No. 5:12-cv-00145-FPS-

JES (N.D.W. Va. July 1 & Aug. 27, 2014).                 We deny Givens’ motion

for sanctions and to strike.            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
