Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:14-cv-00827-REP)

Submitted: November 17, 2016 Decided: November 21, 2016

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and MOTZ and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Samuel M. James, Appellant Pro Se. Jonathan Holland Hambrick, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Samuel M. James appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his complaint. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. James v. United States, No.

3:14-cv-00827-REP (E.D. Va. filed Mar. 10 & entered Mar. 11,

2016). We deny James’ motion for appointment of counsel 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
