v.

CITY OF GREER, South Carolina; KENNETH BOBO, Affiant; MAYOR, City of Greer,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., District Judge. (6:07-cv-03204-HMH)

Submitted: December 29, 2008 Decided: February 18, 2009

Before TRAXLER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Charles W. Penland, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Charles W. Penland, Sr., appeals the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)

complaint. On appeal, Penland has failed to raise any arguments

relevant to the district court’s reasoning for dismissing his

complaint; thus, he has abandoned his claims. Edwards v. City

of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999); 4th Cir. R.

34(b). Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district

court. 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
