PER CURIAM:

Shan Edward Carter appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing without prejudice Carter’s motion to appoint counsel 

for his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition that had not yet been 

filed. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Carter v. Joyner, No. 5:16-hc-02107-D (E.D.N.C. June 28, 

2016). 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.

DISMISSED
