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
