Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Cleaven L. Williams, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. Williams v. Merritt, No. 1:10-cv-00935-CCB (D. Md. Mar. 28, 2011; Jul. 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

∗

We affirm the district court’s dismissal of Claim V on the ground that Williams failed to offer any evidence, apart from his own bald and conclusory allegations, to support his claims. See Erwin v. United States, 591 F.3d 313, 319-20 (4th Cir. 2010) (noting that mere conclusory allegations are insufficient to support the nonmoving party’s case).
