PER CURIAM:

Michael Wayne Mabe appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing with prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint

in which Mabe alleged violations of the First Amendment and the 

Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, see 42 

U.S.C. §§ 2000cc to 2000cc-5 (2012), and denying Mabe’s Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend that judgment. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See

Mabe v. Whitener, No. 5:13-cv-00162-FDW (W.D.N.C. Feb. 10 & 

Mar. 10, 2015). We deny Mabe’s motions for the appointment of 

counsel, for an order directing the district court to issue a 

restraining order, and for injunctive relief pending appeal. 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
