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
