PER CURIAM:

       Julio     Zelaya      Sorto   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.     Sorto v. Stover, No. 5:14-ct-03130-FL (E.D.N.C. Aug. 11,

2016).      We    deny    the    motion    for   appointment         of    counsel   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
