Altony BROOKS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Sgt DAVENPORT; Ofc Ledwell; Warden Stevenson; Warden Sutton; Captain Pack; Lieutenant Carter, Defendants-Appellees.
Altony Brooks appeals the district court's orders accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting summary judgment to defendants, dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint and denying his motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, Brooks v. Davenport, No. 9:15-cv-03195-PMD (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 2016 & Aug. 4, 2017), but modify the order granting summary judgment to reflect that dismissal of all claims is without prejudice. We deny Brooks’ motions to appoint counsel and to reconsider, and 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.
