PER CURIAM:

              In these consolidated appeals, Kevin Smith, a/k/a Bar

None    Royal     Blackness,    appeals      the     district   court’s    orders

accepting       the   recommendations       of     the   magistrate    judge    and

dismissing two Defendants because the Defendants were not state

actors and granting summary judgment to the remaining Defendants

and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.                     We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                     Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                         See

Smith v. Ozmint, No. 9:07-cv-03644-PMD (D.S.C. Mar. 12, 2009;

July 23, 2009).          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
