UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-7319 DARRELL L. GOSS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. BRYAN P. STIRLING; WARDEN RICHARD COTHRAN; WARDEN J. DEAN; MAJOR R. CHVALA; CAPTAIN L. PACK; CAPTAIN STAGGERS; LIEUTENANT LARRY; ASSOCIATE WARDEN G. LEAMAN; WARDEN JOHN R. PATE; VIRGINIA GRUBBS, Postal Director; D. PHILLIPS, Assistant Postal Director; L. MORRIS, Major for Allendale; ASSOCIATE WARDEN ROBERTSON; MR. JENKINS, Captain for Allendale; ASSOCIATE WARDEN GLIDEWELL; CHARLES WILLIAMS, Warden for McCormick; MAJOR MARSHALL, Defendants - Appellees, and CINDY BEER, Defendant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Bruce H. Hendricks, District Judge. (0:18-cv-00326-BHH) Submitted: September 13, 2021 Decided: September 24, 2021 Before WILKINSON and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Darrell L. Goss, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Darrell L. Goss appeals from the district court’s entry of final judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action, challenging the magistrate judge’s December 17, 2019, order denying his motion for sanctions and the district court’s August 25, 2020, judgment adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Defendants other than Cindy Beer, whose motion to dismiss was granted with prejudice. Goss did not file objections to the magistrate judge’s December 17 ruling denying his motion for sanctions with the district court and has not provided on appeal any reason to excuse his failure to do so. Goss has thus waived his right to review of the magistrate judge’s ruling, and we affirm it. Kitlinski v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 994 F.3d 224, 233 (4th Cir. 2021); see Arakas v. Comm’r, Soc. Sec. Admin., 983 F.3d 83, 104-05 (4th Cir. 2020) (explaining circumstances in which this court may exercise discretion to excuse waiver). We also have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s August 25 ruling. We thus affirm that ruling for the reasons stated by the district court. Goss v. Stirling, No. 0:18-cv-00326-BHH (D.S.C. Aug. 21, 2020), ECF No. 257. 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
