USCA4 Appeal: 24-6676 Doc: 19 Filed: 01/28/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: DeWayne K. Handy, Jr., and Sonya McIntyre-Handy appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 amended complaint, in which they raised several constitutional violations centered around DeWayne Handy’s May 2023 arrest. The Handys also appeal the district court’s denial of numerous postjudgment motions. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s determination that Defendants were entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity, nor do we discern any abuse of discretion in the denial of Appellants’ postjudgment motions. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.

Handy v. York Cnty. Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. 0:23-cv-05363-SAL (D.S.C. May 9, 2024; May 14, 2024; July 11, 2024; Sept. 26, 2024). 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
