PER CURIAM:
Criselda and Emmanuel Reyes appeal the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying their motion for summary judgment,
granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, and dismissing their action. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
order. Reyes v. Dorchester Cnty., No. 2:21-cv-00520-DCN (D.S.C. Aug. 21, 2023). We
deny as unnecessary Defendants’ motion for joinder of Emmanuel Reyes as a party to this
appeal, as he is already a party, and we construe the filings on appeal as made on both his
and Criselda Reyes’s behalf. We further deny the Reyeses’ motions to correct misnomer,
for joinder, to impose sanctions against Defendants’ counsel, and to reconsider this court’s
order extending Defendants’ time to respond to motion for sanctions. 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
