PER CURIAM:

Samuel Ellis 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, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Ellis 

v. Lewis, No. 5:12-ct-03122-FL (E.D.N.C. Sept. 29, 2015). We 

deny Ellis’ motion to appoint counsel and for the release of 

documents and 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
