PER CURIAM:
Harald Schmidt appeals the district court’s orders
consolidating his cases against Officers Steven Hunsberger and
John Burk and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaints
against the officers. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
orders. See A/S J. Ludwig Mowinckles Rederi v. Tidewater
Constr. Corp., 559 F.2d 928, 933 (4th Cir. 1977) (identifying
district court’s broad discretion in consolidation issues);
United States v. Buckner, 473 F.3d 551, 554-55 (4th Cir. 2007)
(discussing apparent authority to consent to search). 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
