Dever III, District Judge. (5:19-ct-03010-D) Submitted: December 17, 2019 Decided: December 20, 2019 Before KING, FLOYD, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James C. McNeill, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James C. McNeill appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. McNeill v. SmithHarris, No. 5:19-ct-03010-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 19, 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 * The district court dismissed the complaint in part for failure to state a claim and in part without prejudice as to McNeill’s ability to assert in a habeas corpus petition his claims of due process violations in connection with disciplinary proceedings. 2
