PER CURIAM:
Rufus Julius Cornelius Anderson appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint on the basis of qualified immunity. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Anderson’s
motion for an order of protection or restraining order, grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Anderson v. Patterson,
No. 6:16-cv-00761-MGL (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 2016). 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
