PER CURIAM:

Derrick Allen appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the 

magistrate judge and dismissing Allen’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) complaint under 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we deny Allen’s motion to appoint counsel and affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Allen v. Glines, No. 1:19-cv-00793-TDS-LPA (M.D.N.C. Jan. 

21, 2020). 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
