Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Michael Moment 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. Moment v. Jackson,

No. 8:16-cv-04040-PWG (D. Md. Feb. 15, 2017). We deny as unnecessary Moment’s

motion to proceed without prepayment of fees under the Prison Litigation Reform Act,

grant Moment leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and deny Moment’s motion for

appointment of counsel. 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




      *
        We previously remanded this case to the district court for the limited purpose of
determining whether Moment was entitled to have his time to file an appeal reopened
under Rule 4(a)(6) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. The district court
determined that Moment was entitled to a reopening of the appeal period. Accordingly,
we deny Appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely.
