Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

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
