Charles A. Rippy, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Yvonne Bulluck Ricci,
Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Charles A. Rippy, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order granting summary judgment in Defendant’s favor in Rippy’s
civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Rippy v. North Carolina, No. 5:08-ct-03006-H (E.D.N.C.
May 15, 2009). Although we grant Rippy’s application to proceed
in forma pauperis, we deny his motions requesting release from
imprisonment, payment for constitutional violations, and a
change in his nationality and race. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
