PER CURIAM:
Anthony Glenn James appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on James’s complaint filed
pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S.
388 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. James fails to allege
sufficient facts showing that his claims constitute constitutional violations recognized by
Bivens. Moreover, Appellees Christopher Lietzow and Carra Henderson are protected by
absolute prosecutorial immunity. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. James
v. Sonnendecker, No. 2:23-cv-03298-TMC (D.S.C. Nov. 6, 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
