Ronald George BAILEY-EL, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF BALTIMORE CITY; Ms. Green, Regional Director; Kimberly Graham, Director of Human Resources; Carla Walton, Current Director of Human Resources; Odyssey Johnson, Manager; Anthony Coates, President of Local 647; AFSME Local 647, Defendants - Appellees.

No. 19-1816

Decided: February 24, 2020

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and WYNN and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Ronald G. Bailey-El, Appellant Pro Se. Carrie Blackburn Riley, BLACKBURN RILEY LLC, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee Housing Authoring of Baltimore City.

Ronald George Bailey-El appeals the district court's order denying his motion to appoint counsel and granting the Housing Authority of Baltimore City's motion to dismiss Bailey-El's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) complaint as a sanction for Bailey-El's failure to cooperate with discovery. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Bailey-El leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Bailey-El v. Hous. Auth. of Baltimore City, No. 1:15-cv-02063-RDB (D. Md. July 3, 2019). 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.
