PER CURIAM:
Robert Wilkins appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in
favor of four individually named defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Wilkins v. Shaw, No. 5:20-ct-03031-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 20,
2021). We grant Wilkins’ motion to amend in part, insofar as he seeks to supplement the
arguments in his informal brief, but deny the motion to amend in part, insofar as Wilkins
seeks substantive relief from the district court’s order. We deny Wilkins’ request for
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
