PER CURIAM:
David Farrell Sullivan appeals the district court’s order
adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge to grant the
Appellees’ motion for summary judgment in this action brought under
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). Sullivan also appeals the district
court’s paperless order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.*
Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the
district court. Sullivan v. Ozmint, No. 6:04-cv-23266-HFF (D.S.C.
Aug. 24, 2005 and Mar. 16, 2006). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
Sullivan failed to object specifically to the magistrate
judge’s recommendation to deny relief for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies on all claims except for Sullivan’s
environmental tobacco smoke (“ETS”) claim. Sullivan received
proper notice of the consequences for failure to file specific
objections; therefore, he waived review of the exhaustion issue.
See Wright v. Collins, 766 F.3d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985).
Furthermore, Sullivan does not reference exhaustion in his informal
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (limiting review to issues raised in
informal brief). Sullivan’s ETS claim is meritless for the reasons
discussed by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district
court.
