PER CURIAM:

            Stephen      Mark    Hause    seeks     to     appeal     the    district

court’s order denying his motion for a temporary restraining

order    and/or   preliminary      injunction      filed     in     his     42   U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) proceeding.             To the extent that Hause seeks to

appeal the district court’s denial of a temporary restraining

order, the denial is not appealable on the circumstances of this

case.     See Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029–30

(4th     Cir.   1976).      To    the    extent     that     he     also    sought    a

preliminary injunction, we have reviewed the record and conclude

that the district court’s denial of any such request was not an

abuse of its discretion.          See Dewhurst v. Century Aluminum Co.,

649 F.3d 287, 290 (4th Cir. 2011).                Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal as to the request for a temporary restraining order and

otherwise affirm the district court’s judgment.                     We deny Hause’s

motion    for   appointment      of     counsel.     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.

                                                              DISMISSED IN PART;
                                                                AFFIRMED IN PART
