Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alison Levon Boyd, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Alison Levon Boyd appeals a district court order
adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and
dismissing his civil rights complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A(b)(1) (2006) for failing to state a claim.
We agree with the district court that Boyd failed to
state a claim, although we do so upon alternate grounds. With
regard to Boyd’s claim that the strip search violated his Fourth
Amendment rights, we note that during the criminal proceedings
the district court found that Boyd consented to the search. He
is precluded from rearguing this claim. Boyd also claims that
local police took his wallet, some documents and $2100 in cash
without due process. We conclude that this claim must fail
because North Carolina has adequate post-deprivation remedies
that are available to Boyd.
Accordingly, we affirm. We deny Boyd’s motion for a
default judgment. 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
