Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 3 PER CURIAM: Daniel Johnson Willis appeals the district court’s order denying him leave to file civil complaints for failure to comply with a prefiling injunction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Willis v. Trenton Town Council, Nos. 4:17-mc-00002-H; 4:17-mc-00003H; 4:17-mc-00004-H; 4:17-mc-00005-H (E.D.N.C. Dec. 12, 2017). We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. We deny Willis’s motion and supplemental motion titled “Appeal-Extra Ordinary Delay Complaint for En Banc Hearing Declaratory and Injunctive Relieve Reverse and Remand.” 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.
