PER CURIAM:
Chante’ N. Hodge and Harold H. Hodge, Jr., appeal the
district court’s orders granting summary judgment in favor of
Defendants in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) civil rights action
and denying the Hodges’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or
amend judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error in the district court’s grant of summary
judgment in Defendants’ favor. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Hodge v. St. Mary’s Cnty.
Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. 8:08-cv-02522-PJM (D. Md. June 22, 2009).
We further find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s
denial of the Hodges’ Rule 59(e) motion and affirm that order.
See Pacific Ins. Co. v. Am. Nat’l Fire Ins. Co., 148 F.3d 396,
402-03 (4th Cir. 1998). 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
