PER CURIAM: Nathaniel Lee Joyner, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil action. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Joyner v. Turley, No. 5:23-ct-03019-D (E.D.N.C. Sep. 2, 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
