James Dinkins, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: James Dinkins appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Dinkins’s motion to appoint counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Dinkins v. Pyles, No. 2:18-cv-00003-JPB-JPM (N.D.W. Va. filed Apr. 12, 2019; entered Apr. 16, 2019). 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
