PER CURIAM: Kendrick V. Alston appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint and the court's order denying discovery. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Alston v. Winthrop Univ. Police Dep't, No. 8:09-cv-01130-RMG (D.S.C. Dec. 16, 2010; Jan. 14, 2011). 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
