PER CURIAM:

       John C. Phelps appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion to amend his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint after

the     district   court       dismissed     the     complaint,      pursuant   to

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2012), for failure to state a claim.

We    have   reviewed    the    record     and   find   no    reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.       Phelps v. Perry, No. 1:14-cv-00133 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 22,

2015).       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
