PER CURIAM:
Cleaven L. Williams, Jr., appeals the district court’s
orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by
the district court. Williams v. Merritt, No. 1:10-cv-00935-CCB
(D. Md. Mar. 28, 2011; Jul. 14, 2011).∗ 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
∗ We affirm the district court’s dismissal of Claim V on the
ground that Williams failed to offer any evidence, apart from
his own bald and conclusory allegations, to support his claims.
See Erwin v. United States, 591 F.3d 313, 319-20 (4th Cir. 2010)
(noting that mere conclusory allegations are insufficient to
support the nonmoving party’s case).
