Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:15-ct-03272-FL)

Submitted: November 22, 2016 Decided: November 28, 2016

Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gregory Dean Melvin, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Gregory Dean Melvin appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his

(2012) complaint. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, we deny Melvin’s motion for appointment of counsel and

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Melvin v.

Perritt, No. 5:15-ct-03272-FL (E.D.N.C. June 17, 2016). 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
