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

                                           3
