PER CURIAM:

James F. Eason appeals the district court’s orders granting in part and denying in

part his motion to compel discovery, denying his renewed motion to compel discovery, and

granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment in Eason’s

action. *

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s orders. Eason v. Bailey, No. 5:18-ct-03273-D E.D.N.C. (May 21, 2020;

July 24, 2020; Mar. 8, 2021; Mar. 1, 2022). We deny Eason’s motion to appoint counsel.

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

* Because the district court failed to address Eason’s due process claim in its initial order granting summary judgment to Defendants, this court dismissed a prior appeal of that order for lack of jurisdiction and remanded to the district court for consideration of the unresolved claim. See Eason v. Bailey,

, 754 (4th Cir. 2021) (No. 21-6456).
