PER CURIAM:
Brandon Otha Martin appeals the district court’s order adopting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Martin’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and discern no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Martin’s motions to appoint counsel, and we
affirm. Martin v. Birkhead, No. 1:24-cv-00165-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. July 2, 2025). 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
