Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joshua Lee Blackwell 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. Blackwell v.

Houser, No. 5:16-cv-00067-FDW (W.D.N.C. Oct. 18, 2017). 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
