PER CURIAM:
Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to appoint
counsel, denying his motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction,
and dismissing his amended civil action for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Blakney v. S.C. Law Enf’t Div., No.
5:21-ct-03080-M (E.D.N.C. Feb. 24, 2022). We deny Blakney’s motions to disqualify the
district court judge, to extend the filing time for filing of a notice of appeal, and for leave
to appeal an interlocutory order. 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 conclude after review of the record in light of Affinity Living Grp., LLC v.
StarStone Specialty Ins. Co., 959 F.3d 634, 639 (4th Cir. 2020), and Bing v. Brivo Sys.,
LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 610-12, 614-15 (4th Cir. 2020), that we have jurisdiction to review this
appeal following the dismissal of the action without prejudice.
