PER CURIAM:

              Bobby     Chen     appeals       the    district      court’s    order

dismissing the complaint in this action for failure to effect

service of process.             We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.          Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by   the     district     court.     Chen      v.    Mayor   &   City   Council     of

Baltimore, No. 1:11-cv-03227-GLR (D. Md. Feb. 22, 2013).                            We

deny   the    motion      for   appointment     of    counsel,      grant   leave   to

proceed      in   forma    pauperis,   and      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
