PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Kevin Smith, a/k/a Bar
None Royal Blackness, appeals the district court’s orders
accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and
dismissing two Defendants because the Defendants were not state
actors and granting summary judgment to the remaining Defendants
and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See
Smith v. Ozmint, No. 9:07-cv-03644-PMD (D.S.C. Mar. 12, 2009;
July 23, 2009). 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
