Edgar Thomas, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Edgar Thomas appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge to dismiss Thomas’ civil action without prejudice for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction, and its order denying Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) relief. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. Thomas v. South Carolina, No. 3:17-cv-01345-CMC (D.S.C. June 27

& July 19, 2017); see also Robinson v. Wix Filtration Corp., 

, 407 (4th Cir.

2010) (reviewing Rule 59(e) denial for abuse of discretion). 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
