        PER CURIAM:

              Reverend Dr. Samuel T. Whatley appeals the district court’s order accepting the

        recommendations of the magistrate judge and dismissing Whatley’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and

        Bivens * complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). We have reviewed the record

        and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Whatley v.

        Richland Cnty. Fam. Ct., No. 3:22-cv-02119-MGL (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 2023). 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
