PER CURIAM:

magistrate judge and granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on Roote’s civil
complaint.
*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. Roote v. Kershaw Cnty., No. 3:25-cv-01392-SAL (D.S.C.
Mar. 5, 2026). 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

*
Roote has moved for leave to file a supplemental informal brief. We grant that
motion. He has also moved for disability accommodations in the event that this appeal is
scheduled for oral argument. We deny that motion as moot.
