Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, Chief District Judge. (5:15-ct-03145-D) Submitted: November 22, 2016 Decided: November 28, 2016 Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Raymond Griffin, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Raymond Griffin appeals the district court’s orders adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss, after a 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2012) review, Griffin’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action, and denying Griffin’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Griffin’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm the district court’s orders. See Griffin v. Shandles, No. 5:15-ct-03145-D (E.D.N.C. Feb. 22, 2016; May 18, 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
