PER CURIAM: Thomas Covington, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Defendants in Covington’s civil action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc to 2000cc-5. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Covington v. Brown, No. 1:21-cv-00385-WO-JEP (M.D.N.C. Mar. 3, 2025). 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
