2 PER CURIAM:

Bobby Chen appeals the district court’s order

dismissing the complaint in this action for failure to effect

service of process. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Chen v. Mayor & City Council of

Baltimore, No. 1:11-cv-03227-GLR (D. Md. Feb. 22, 2013). We

deny the motion for appointment of counsel, grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, and 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
