PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, William Scott Davis, Jr.,

seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motions 

for recusal and to reopen. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Wake Cty. Human Servs. v. Davis, 

No. 5:14-cv-00005-F (E.D.N.C. July 14, 2015); id. (Aug. 26, 

2015). 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
