PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, William Scott Davis, Jr.,

appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion to reopen 

22 closed civil cases. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Davis v. Chasse, No. 4:11-cv-00020-RBSDEM (E.D. Va. July 16, 2015). We deny Davis’ motions to remand

and motions for appointment of counsel. 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
