2 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.
