PER CURIAM:

Mark A. Grethen appeals the district court’s orders denying 

his motions for the appointment of counsel, granting a motion 

for sanctions and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 

complaint, and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

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

v. Clarke, No. 2:13-cv-00416-RBS-DEM (E.D. Va. Nov. 24, 2015 & 

Feb. 11, 2016). We deny Grethen’s motion for the appointment of 

counsel as well as his motions for a transfer to Augusta 

Correctional Center and his motion regarding the storage of his 

legal materials. 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
