PER CURIAM: Napier Sandford Fuller appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim and denying reconsideration. Fuller argues on appeal that the district court erred in denying his motion to compel discovery to identify certain John Doe defendants and in dismissing his Fourth Amendment claims for failure to state a claim. Upon review of the record, we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny as moot Fuller’s motions to extend the filing time for future legal filings, for a telephone conference, and for disposition, and we affirm the district court’s orders. Fuller v. Dixon, No. 7:21-cv-00040-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 11, 2022; Oct. 28, 2022). 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.
