Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM

Larry Blakney appeals the district court's order denying his motion to appoint counsel, denying his motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, and dismissing his amended civil action for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).[*] We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. Blakney v. S.C. Law Enf't Div., No. 5:21-ct-03080-M (E.D. N.C. Feb. 24, 2022). We deny Blakney's motions to disqualify the district court judge, to extend the filing time for filing of a notice of appeal, and for leave to appeal an interlocutory order. 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

[*] We conclude after review of the record in light of Affinity Living Grp., LLC v. StarStone Specialty Ins. Co., 959 F.3d 634, 639 (4th Cir. 2020), and Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 610-12, 614-15 (4th Cir. 2020), that we have jurisdiction to review this appeal following the dismissal of the action without prejudice.
