PER CURIAM:
Kay F. Paschal appeals from the district court’s order adopting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Defendants
in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action. On appeal, Paschal questions whether
the district court erred in granting summary judgment to Defendants. However, because
Paschal has not presented this claim in accordance with Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(8)(A)
(“[T]he [appellant’s] argument . . . must contain . . . appellant’s contentions and the
reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of the record on which the
appellant relies.”), we deem it abandoned. Jacobs v. N.C. Admin. Office of the Courts,
780 F.3d 562, 568 n.7 (4th Cir. 2015); Wahi v. Charleston Area Med. Ctr., Inc., 562 F.3d
599, 607 (4th Cir. 2009); Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir.
2004).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
