    Thurmond Guess filed two lawsuits against Benedict College and David Swinton. The district court dismissed both lawsuits without prejudice based on recommendations from magistrate judges. Guess appealed both dismissals. The appeals court reviewed the records and found no reversible error, so they affirmed the district court's dismissals for the reasons stated in the lower court's rulings. The appeals court decided oral arguments were not necessary.
