                                2
PER CURIAM:

      Michael J. Ferola filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action

asserting claims of denial of access to the courts and failure

to protect.     The district court accepted in part the magistrate

judge’s     recommendation          and     granted        summary      judgment     to

defendants     on    Ferola’s      access       to   the   courts      claims.      The

surviving    failure    to    protect       claim     against    Defendant       Fulton

proceeded to trial and the jury ruled in Fulton’s favor.                         Ferola

appeals the denial of relief on his claims.                      We have reviewed

the   record   and    find    no    reversible        error.        Accordingly,     we

affirm.     Ferola v. Fulton, No. 9:13-cv-02413-RBH (D.S.C. Mar. 3,

2015 & Aug. 23, 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
