Curtis RICHARDSON, a/k/a Curtis D. Richardson, a/k/a Curtis Dale Richardson, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. D. S. WILKES, Medical Staff Supervisor of Darlington County Detention Center, Defendant - Appellee, Will Duncan, Horry County Policeman; Horry County Policeman, Name Unknown; Brian Doyle, Doyles Wrecker Service; Dennis Phelps, Horry County Magistrate; Kaymani Daniels West, US Magistrate; Supervisor of U.S. Marshals, Name Unknown of the Florence Division Office; William Fletcher Nettles, IV, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Defendants.
Curtis Richardson appeals the district court's orders accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting Richardson's motion for default judgment for $5,000 rather than $10,000 as alleged in Richardson's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Richardson v. Wilkes, No. 4:16-cv-00835-RBH, 2018 WL 835227 (D.S.C. Feb. 13, 2018 & Mar. 23, 2018). 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
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
