PER CURIAM:
Shadreck Kifayatuthelezi appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting summary judgment to the Appellees,
and dismissing Kifayatuthelezi’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) civil rights claims and his claims
under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§ 15-78-10 to 15-78-220. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Kifayatuthelezi v. S.C. Dep’t of Corr., No. 8:17-cv-
03139-TLW (D.S.C. Sept. 25, 2019). 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
