PER CURIAM:

      Matthew Heath appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and denying his motion for a preliminary injunction in this action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). Upon review, we conclude that the district

court did not abuse its discretion in denying Heath’s motion. See Di Biase v. SPX Corp.,

, 229 (4th Cir. 2017) (district court’s denial of a motion for a preliminary

injunction is reviewable for abuse of discretion); Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc.,

, 20 (2008) (outlining standard for a preliminary injunction). Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Heath v. College of Charleston, No.

2:17-cv-01792-PMD-JDA (D.S.C. Nov. 14, 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
