PER CURIAM:
Robert Dent appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor
of Defendant Colin Ottey as to Dent’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) claim of deliberate
indifference to his medical needs.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court.
Dent v. Ottey, No. 8:15-cv-00206-CCB (D. Md. Mar. 9, 2017); see also Harrods Ltd. v.
Sixty Internet Domain Names, 302 F.3d 214, 244-45 (4th Cir. 2002) (discussing
requirements to preserve claim that summary judgment was granted prematurely).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
* Although Dent’s informal brief also identifies the district court’s March 17,
2016, order dismissing the action in part and granting summary judgment in part, we
conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review that order. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B);
Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 176-77 (4th Cir. 2014).
