PER CURIAM:

Bobby Chen appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing the complaint in this action for failure to effect 

service of process. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Chen v. Mayor & City Council of 

Baltimore, No. 1:11-cv-03227-GLR (D. Md. Feb. 22, 2013). We 

deny the motion for appointment of counsel, grant leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis, and 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
