PER CURIAM:

       Ricardo Edwin Lanier appeals the district court’s order granting Appellees’

motion for summary judgment and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)

complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm the district court’s dismissal of Lanier’s claims against Appellees McDonald,

Helton, Corn, and Adams for the reasons stated by the district court, and we affirm the

district court’s dismissal of the claims against Appellee Player on the basis that Lanier

failed to demonstrate that he was subjected to inhumane conditions rising to the level of a

Fourteenth Amendment violation. Lanier v. Corn, No. 1:15-cv-00262-FDW (W.D.N.C.

Nov. 6, 2017). 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
