UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Patrick Michael Duffy, Senior District Judge. (2:17-cv-01792-PMD-JDA) Before KING, AGEE, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Allan R. Holmes, Cheryl H. Ledbetter, Rebecca J. Wolfe, GIBBS & HOLMES, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellant. Eugene H. Matthews, RICHARDSON PLOWDEN & ROBINSON, P.A., Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Matthew Heath appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying his motion for a preliminary injunction in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). Upon review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Heath's motion. See Di Biase v. SPX Corp., 872 F.3d 224, 229 (4th Cir. 2017) (district court's denial of a motion for a preliminary injunction is reviewable for abuse of discretion); Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) (outlining standard for a preliminary injunction). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Heath v. College of Charleston, No. 2:17-cv-01792-PMD-JDA (D.S.C. Nov. 14, 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
