PER CURIAM:

       Willie McCall, administrator for the estate of Sandy Jamel McCall, appeals the

district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment and

Defendants’ motion to strike Plaintiff’s expert affidavit. We affirm.

       We first address the district court’s granting of Defendants’ motion to strike

Plaintiff’s expert affidavit. We review a district court’s ruling on the admissibility of

expert witness testimony for abuse of discretion. See Bresler v. Wilmington Tr. Co., 

, 189 (4th Cir. 2017). In this case, the expert’s affidavit was not disclosed to

Defendants until it was filed in opposition to summary judgment—well after the expert

disclosure deadline and the close of discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B). The

affidavit contained opinions that were not included in the timely-disclosed expert report,

including analysis of the officers’ deposition testimony. Accordingly, we find no abuse

of discretion in the district court’s order to strike the affidavit.

       We turn next to the district court’s granting of Defendants’ motions for summary

judgment.     We review an order granting summary judgment de novo, “drawing

reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.” Butler v.

Drive Auto. Indus. of Am., Inc., 

, 407 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation

marks omitted). “Summary judgment is proper ‘if the movant shows that there is no

genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter

of law.’” 

(quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a)). The relevant inquiry is whether the

evidence “presents a sufficient disagreement to require submission to a jury or whether it

is so one-sided that one party must prevail as a matter of law.” McAirlaids, Inc. v.

                                                3
Kimberly-Clark Corp., 

, 310 (4th Cir. 2014) (internal quotation marks

omitted). Applying these principles to the record before us, we discern no reversible

error in the district court’s conclusion that, in light of the essentially undisputed facts, the

officer’s actions were reasonable and constitutional. See McCall v. Morant, No. 1:16-cv-

00141-CCE-JLW (M.D.N.C. July 12, 2017).              In view of that conclusion, summary

judgment was also proper as to each of the Plaintiff’s additional claims.

       Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
