JOHN BACCUS, a/k/a John Baccus Roosevelt, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. EDGAR L. CLEMENTS, III; VON DEAN TURBEVILLE; BARRY PROSSER; AMBER MCDANIEL THOMPSON; KEITH LUTCKEN; BRIAN WALLACE; PAUL BAKER; MICHELLE DIXON; JOHN BLACK, Defendants - Appellees.
John Roosevelt Baccus, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. David C. Norton, District Judge. (4:17-cv-01851-DCN) Before DIAZ and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John Roosevelt Baccus, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
John Roosevelt Baccus seeks to appeal from the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice Baccus's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. Finding no error, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Baccus v. Clements, No. 4:17-cv-01851-DCN (D.S.C. Jan. 23, 2018). We deny Baccus's motions for a transcript at Government expense and for 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.
The grounds of the dismissal make clear that no amendment could cure the defects in Baccus's case. Therefore, the order is final and appealable. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc'y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 625, 629-30 (4th Cir. 2015). --------
