PER CURIAM:

      James Odis Sowell, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation to grant Joshua Walsh’s summary judgment motion, and deny

Sowell’s summary judgment motion in Sowell’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. We

have considered Sowell’s arguments on appeal and discern no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sowell v. Walsh,

No. 1:15-cv-00757-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. Dec. 28, 2016).              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
