PER CURIAM:

          Marlow   L.   Bates,   Sr.,   appeals    the   district    court’s

orders dismissing his copyright infringement suit for failure to

state a claim upon which relief could be granted and denying his

post-judgment motion for leave to amend his complaint.              We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.            Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                 See

Bates v. Samsung Electronics Am., Inc., No. 1:10-cv-03158-JFM

(D. Md. July 20, 2011 & Dec. 1, 2011).            We further deny Bates’

motion for the appointment of counsel.            We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                    AFFIRMED
