PER CURIAM:
Robert S. Ballard appeals the district court’s order
granting summary judgment to Appellee in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2012) action. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Ballard v. Kalinski, No. 5:13-cv-00175-
FDW (W.D.N.C. Aug. 27, 2015). 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
