Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Mary G. Lewis, District Judge. (3:17-cv-02048-MGL) Submitted: September 11, 2020 Decided: September 30, 2020 Before DIAZ and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Alton Adams, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Alton Adams appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion, in which Adams sought reconsideration of the court’s previous order denying relief on Adams’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, and denying his motion to appoint counsel. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Adams v. Burbage, No. 3:17-cv-02048-MGL (D.S.C. Apr. 2, 2020). We also deny Adams’ motion to assign counsel on appeal. 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 2
