PER CURIAM:

Gregory Dean Melvin appeals the district court’s order 

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we deny Melvin’s motion for appointment of counsel and 

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Melvin v. 

Perritt, No. 5:15-ct-03272-FL (E.D.N.C. June 17, 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.

AFFIRMED
