Submitted: December 28, 2016 Decided: January 13, 2017

De’Ante Octario Howard, Appellant Pro Se. Kelly Street Brown, Elizabeth Pharr McCullough, YOUNG MOORE & HENDERSON, PA, Raleigh, North Carolina; Kimberly D. Grande, NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

De’Ante Octario Howard appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his

(2012) complaint. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Howard v. Kuhne, No. 5:13-cv-00062-FDW (W.D.N.C.

June 20, 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
