Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Redmond Howard appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ, P. 12(b)(6) motion and dismissing Howard’s civil action for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Howard’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Howard v. Salisbury Univ., No. 1:17-cv-00260-JKB (D. Md. June 1, 2017). We deny Howard’s motions for permission to appeal, to waive a specific defense, to defer action on his previous motion to waive a defense, and to add a defendant. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this *80 court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
