Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Fernando Palma Carias appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983 (2012); Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971); the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1962 (2012); the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951 (2012); and provisions of North Carolina state law. We have reviewed the record in light of Carias’ arguments on appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. * Carias v. Harrison, Nos. 5:13-ct-03264-FL; 5:14-ct-3104-FL (E.D.N.C. Mar. 23, 2016 & Mar. 27, 2017). We deny Carias’ motion for a transcript at government expense. 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 * As to Carias’ Fourth Amendment claims regarding surveillance equipment in his vehicle, we conclude that Carias’ self-serving statements are insufficient to create genuine issues of material fact that must be submitted to the jury. 3 17-6490 Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ca4 4th Cir.
