Delk appeals the district court’s final order denying relief on his civil rights complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Delk v. Younce, No. 7:14-cv-00643NKM-RSB (W.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2016; Mar. 14, 2017). We also deny Delk’s motions 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 3
