PER CURIAM:

Samuel Ellis appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for additional 

discovery and to appoint counsel, granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants, and 

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. Ellis v. Wilson, et al., No. 5:21-ct-03048-BO 

(E.D.N.C. Jan. 10, 2023; May 26, 2023; Sept. 11, 2023). 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
