PER CURIAM:

      Rufus Julius Cornelius Anderson appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss his

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint on the basis of qualified immunity.          We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Anderson’s

motion for an order of protection or restraining order, grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Anderson v. Patterson,

No. 6:16-cv-00761-MGL (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 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.
