Clowdis also appeals the denial of his motions to vacate and to amend. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Clowdis v. Silverman, No. 3:15-cv-00128-REP (E.D. Va. Mar. 28, 2019). We deny Clowdis’s motion to appoint 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
