PER CURIAM:

       Thomas Bradford Waters appeals the district court’s orders accepting the

recommendations of the magistrate judge and granting Defendants summary judgment in

Waters’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Waters

v. Stewart, No. 4:15-cv-04143-RBH-TER (D.S.C. Sept. 24, 2018; Dec. 20, 2018; Mar. 13,

2019). We grant Waters’ motion to amend his informal brief, but deny his motion for the

appointment of counsel. 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
