PER CURIAM:

Ronald George Bailey-El appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to 

appoint counsel and granting the Housing Authority of Baltimore City’s motion to dismiss 

Bailey-El’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) complaint as a sanction for Bailey-El’s failure to 

cooperate with discovery. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, although we grant Bailey-El leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his 

motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. 

Bailey-El v. Hous. Auth. of Baltimore City, No. 1:15-cv-02063-RDB (D. Md. July 3, 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
