Ricardo Edwin LANIER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Linda CORN, Officer; Brian Helton, Sgt.; FNU McDonald, Lt.; Jim Player, Captain; Christy Adams, Officer, Defendants-Appellees, Henderson County Detention Center, Jail Officials on duty day of incident, et al; Flora Hernandez, Head Nurse, Defendants.
Ricardo Edwin Lanier appeals the district court's order granting Appellees’ motion for summary judgment and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's dismissal of Lanier's claims against Appellees McDonald, Helton, Corn, and Adams for the reasons stated by the district court, and we affirm the district court's dismissal of the claims against Appellee Player on the basis that Lanier failed to demonstrate that he was subjected to inhumane conditions rising to the level of a Fourteenth Amendment violation. Lanier v. Henderson County Detention Center, No. 1:15-cv-00262-FDW, 2017 WL 5139249 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 6, 2017). 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Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
