PER CURIAM:
Thomas Bradford Waters appeals the district court’s orders accepting the
recommendations of the magistrate judge and granting Defendants summary judgment in
Waters’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Waters
v. Stewart, No. 4:15-cv-04143-RBH-TER (D.S.C. Sept. 24, 2018; Dec. 20, 2018; Mar. 13,
2019). We grant Waters’ motion to amend his informal brief, but deny his motion for the
appointment of counsel. 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
