We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Chen’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, but affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Bell v. Chen, No. 3:14-cv-00091-GCM (W.D.N.C. Nov. 29, 2016). 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
