PER CURIAM:
Clarence S. Gregory appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge, denying Gregory’s motion to supplement and amend his pleadings,
and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and
discern no reversible error in the district court’s rulings that Gregory’s amended complaint
failed to state a claim of deliberate indifference under the Eighth Amendment related to his
exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and denying as futile his motion to supplement
and amend his complaint. See Helling v. McKinney, 509 U.S. 25, 35-36 (1993).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Gregory v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrs., No.
8:23-cv-02316-BHH (D.S.C. July 31, 2024). 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
