PER CURIAM:
Marlow L. Bates, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his copyright
infringement suit for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. See Bates v. Apple, Inc., No. 1:16-cv-00929-JFM (D. Md.
Oct. 13, 2016). We 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
