UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-6810 LARRY JAMES TYLER, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. SHERIFF WAYNE BYRD, Darlington Detention Center; CAPTAIN COE; DIANN WILKES, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Beaufort. Mary G. Lewis, District Judge. (9:16-cv-01275-MGL) Submitted: October 17, 2017 Decided: October 20, 2017 Before FLOYD and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Larry James Tyler, DARLINGTON COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, Darlington, South Carolina, for Appellant. Samuel F. Arthur, III, James Rufus Bratton, III, AIKEN, BRIDGES, NUNN, ELLIOTT & TYLER, PA, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Larry James Tyler appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. The court granted Defendants Byrd and Coe’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint as to Defendant Wilkes. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Tyler v. Byrd, No. 9:16-cv-01275-MGL (D.S.C. June 19, 2017). We grant Tyler’s motion to file a supplemental informal brief. 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 2
