PER CURIAM:

Antoine D. Martin appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 (2018) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Martin v. Cooper, No. 

2:19-cv-00002-BO (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7, 2019). 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
