PER CURIAM: Herbert L. Clark, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Appellees on Clark’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging deliberate indifference to his medical needs. Appellee Max Harris has moved this court to impose sanctions on Clark for filing a frivolous appeal. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error, but we do not find that Clark’s appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny Harris’s motion for sanctions and affirm the district court’s order. Clark v. Simpson, No. 5:22-ct-03252-FL (E.D.N.C., Sept. 27, 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
