BERKELEY HALL LLC; ADRIAN MORRIS; MICHAEL CERRATI; BERKELEY HALL CLUB INC., Defendants – Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Beaufort. Sol Blatt, Jr., Senior District Judge. (9:13-cv-01352-SB) Submitted: September 30, 2015 Decided: October 14, 2015 Before KING, SHEDD, and AGEE, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charles E. Houston, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Keating L. Simons, III, SIMONS & DEAN, Charleston, South Carolina; Jerome Bennett Crites, III, SMITH MOORE LEATHERWOOD LLP, Charleston, South Carolina; Brian Pratt Robinson, BRUNER, POWELL, WALL & MULLINS, LLC, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Charles Edward Houston, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment, denying Houston’s motion to file responses out of time, and granting sanctions against him for failing to ensure his client was present at his depositions and the order denying his motion to alter or amend the judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Houston v. Berkeley Hall LLC, No. 9:13-cv-01352-SB (D.S.C. Nov. 14, 2014; Nov. 25, 2014). 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 3
