UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. R. Bryan Harwell, Chief District Judge. (4:17-cv-00868-RBH) Before FLOYD, THACKER, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges. Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Orin G. Briggs, Lexington, South Carolina, for Appellants. Lisa A. Thomas, THOMPSON & HENRY, P.A., Conway, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Flowers Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit organization operating as a church; J.L. Flowers, the church's "President/CEO"; and several members of the church (collectively, "Plaintiffs") appeal the district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants in Plaintiffs' 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have reviewed the parties' briefs and the joint appendix and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Flowers Ministries Inc. v. Hines, No. 4:17-cv-00868-RBH (D.S.C. July 20, 2018). To the extent Plaintiffs seek to challenge the district court's orders denying their motion for a preliminary injunction and denying reconsideration of that order, we dismiss this portion of the appeal as moot. See Already, LLC v. Nike, Inc., 568 U.S. 85, 91 (2013). 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 IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART
