PER CURIAM:
John Roosevelt Baccus seeks to appeal from the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice Baccus’s 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. Finding no error, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court.* See Baccus v. Clements, No. 4:17-cv-01851-DCN (D.S.C. Jan. 23, 2018).
We deny Baccus’s motions for a transcript at Government expense and for appointment
of counsel. 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
* The grounds of the dismissal make clear that no amendment could cure the
defects in Baccus’s case. Therefore, the order is final and appealable. See Goode v. Cent.
Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 625, 629-30 (4th Cir. 2015).
