Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Daniel Felix appeals the district court’s order dismissing in part without prejudice and dismissing in part with prejudice his amended civil action, denying as moot his motion seeking emergency injunctive relief, and denying his motions for discovery. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Felix v. Doughtie, No. 2:21-cv-00007-FL (E.D.N.C. June 8, 2021). 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
