Submitted: February 25, 2010.

Decided: March 2, 2010.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. G. Ross Anderson, Jr., Senior District Judge. (6:08-cv-00231-GRA).

Jon J. Runge, Appellant Pro Se. Charles Michael Groves, Chapman, Harter Grooves, PA, Greenville, South Carolina; Christopher Louis Murphy, Stuckey Law Offices, PA, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Before DUNCAN and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.


Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Jon J. Runge appeals the district court's orders accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Runge v. Sanford, No. 6:08-cv-00231-GRA, 2009 WL 2601468 (Aug. 21 2009 WL 2601468, Oct. 2, 2009). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
