2 PER CURIAM:

Kenneth Rivera appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on

his

(2012) complaint. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. Rivera v. Leonard,

No. 5:15-cv-01191-DCN (D.S.C. June 17, 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
