PER CURIAM:

Alphonza Leonard Phillip Thomas, III, appeals the district 

court’s orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 

complaint and denying his motions to amend and for 

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Thomas’s motions for 

appointment of counsel and for a transcript at government 

expense and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. 

Thomas v. Soucier, No. 5:13-ct-03247-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan, 21, 2015;

Mar. 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
