Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Kendrick V. Alston appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint and the court’s

order denying discovery. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Alston v. Winthrop Univ. Police

Dep’t, No. 8:09-cv-01130-RMG (D.S.C. Dec. 16, 2010; Jan. 14,

2011). 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
