Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Walter Clayton Ruff, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Vinton D. Lide, Michael Stephen Pauley, LIDE & PAULEY, LLC, Lexington, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Walter Clayton Ruff, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on 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. Ruff v. Bowers, No. 8:12-cv-03522-MGL (D.S.C. Feb. 19, 2014). We further deny Ruff’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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
