*Although this appeal was interlocutory at the time Benson
filed the notice of appeal, we possess jurisdiction to consider the
merits because the district court has subsequently entered final
judgment disposing of the remaining claims. See In re Bryson, 406
F.3d 284 (4th Cir. 2005).

PER CURIAM:
Bryan O’Neal Benson appeals the district court’s order
granting in part and denying in part Defendants’ motion for summary
judgment and dismissing Benson’s claims against the Defendants in
their official capacities in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action.*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Benson v. Pleasants, No. 5:06-cv-00058-F (E.D.N.C. Jan.
4, 2007). 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
