PER CURIAM:
John Clarence Johnson, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting Defendant Turner-Padget Law Firm’s
(“TPL”) Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, and dismissing Johnson’s civil
complaint for failure to state a claim.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Johnson v. Rushton, No.
6:24-cv-07370-BHH (D.S.C. May 15, 2025). 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
* Although the district court in its order refers to TPL’s motion as one for summary
judgment, TPL moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim, and there is no indication that
the district court considered the motion otherwise.
