PER CURIAM:
Shan Edward Carter appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice Carter’s motion to appoint counsel
for his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition that had not yet been
filed. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district
court. Carter v. Joyner, No. 5:16-hc-02107-D (E.D.N.C. June 28,
2016). 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.
DISMISSED
