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
