EDGAR THOMAS v. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

EDGAR THOMAS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Defendant - Appellee.

No. 17-1876

Decided: September 28, 2017

Before NIEMEYER and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Edgar Thomas, Appellant Pro Se.

Edgar Thomas appeals the district court's order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge to dismiss Thomas' civil action without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and its order denying Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) relief. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Thomas v. South Carolina, No. 3:17-cv-01345-CMC (D.S.C. June 27 & July 19, 2017); see also Robinson v. Wix Filtration Corp., 599 F.3d 403, 407 (4th Cir. 2010) (reviewing Rule 59(e) denial for abuse of discretion). 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.
