Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., Senior District Judge. (6:08-cv-03169-HMH) Submitted: August 26, 2010 Decided: September 2, 2010 Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. William Clayton McKinnedy, III, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Michael Pruitt, MCDONALD, PATRICK, TINSLEY, BAGGETT & POSTON, Greenwood, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: William Clayton McKinnedy, III, appeals the district court’s orders substantially accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint and denying his motion for reconsideration. ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. McKinnedy v. Reynolds, No. 6:08-cv-03169-HMH (D.S.C. Feb. 5, 2010). We deny McKinnedy’s motion for appointment of counsel and 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 ∗ Because the case was dismissed on summary judgment, the district court did not adopt the magistrate judge’s recommendation to count the dismissal as a “strike” for purposes of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2006). 3
