UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-6083 JAMES ODIS SOWELL, JR., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. JOSHUA WALSH, Defendant - Appellee, and AMANDA CRAIG; JAMES P. DORNFRIED, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Loretta Copeland Biggs, District Judge. (1:15-cv-00757-LCB-JLW) Submitted: May 23, 2017 Decided: May 26, 2017 Before KING, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Odis Sowell, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Kimberly Martin Rehberg, CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Durham, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: James Odis Sowell, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant Joshua Walsh’s summary judgment motion, and deny Sowell’s summary judgment motion in Sowell’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. We have considered Sowell’s arguments on appeal and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sowell v. Walsh, No. 1:15-cv-00757-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. Dec. 28, 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 3
