PER CURIAM:
Brandon Michael Pickens appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge to grant Defendants’ motions to dismiss and
dismissing Pickens’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Pickens v. Lewis, No. 1:16-cv-01358-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2017).
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
