PER CURIAM:
Larry Francis Williams appeals the district court’s
order awarding the Defendants summary judgment on his equal
protection claim, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006), race
discrimination claim, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (2006),
and defamation claim. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Williams v. Bd. of Educ. of Wicomico Cnty.,
No. 1:10-cv-03582-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 1, 2012). We deny Williams’
motion for appointment of 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
