PER CURIAM: Marcel Romains Wallace appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Wallace has also moved for oral argument. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Wallace’s motion and affirm the district court’s order. Wallace v. Butts, No. 5:23-CT-3005-M-RJ (E.D.N.C. Sept. 10, 2025). 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
