Charles A. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Linette JORDAN, Defendant-Appellee, Sgt. Schultiz; C/O Jordan; C/O Speller; Sgt. Riddley; Victor Shultis; Richard Speller, Defendants.
Charles A. Williams appeals the district court's order granting a default judgment in his favor with respect to one of the named defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, and awarding Williams $10,000 in compensatory damages but denying his request for punitive damages. We have reviewed the record, including the transcript of the hearing on damages as against Defendant Jordan, and we find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm. Williams v. Jordan, No. 5:14-ct-03091-BO, 2019 WL 6974337 (E.D.N.C. Dec. 18, 2019). 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
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
