PER CURIAM:

       Brandon Michael Pickens appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge to grant Defendants’ motions to dismiss and

dismissing Pickens’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Pickens v. Lewis, No. 1:16-cv-01358-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2017).

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
