PER CURIAM:

Steven Glenn Johnson appeals the district court’s orders

granting North Carolina’s motion to set aside entry of default 

judgment and denying Johnson’s ancillary motions; denying 

Johnson’s motion to alter or amend that judgment and his companion 

motion; directing Johnson to file proof of service upon North 

Carolina by a certain date; dismissing Johnson’s complaint without 

prejudice for failure to timely serve process; and denying 

Johnson’s motion to alter or amend that judgment. We have reviewed 

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the district court’s 

rulings in the disputed orders. 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
