No. 17-2394

Decided: June 13, 2018

Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Tommy Ray Combs, Appellant Pro Se. Daniel McPherson Nunn, Christopher P. Raab, CAUDLE & SPEARS, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee Ashe County. Thomas Carlton Younger, III, WEATHERSPOON & VOLTZ LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee Garco Inc. Environmental Industrial and Recycling Services.

Tommy Ray Combs and Florence Combs Miller appeal the district court's order affirming the magistrate judge's order denying Miller's motion to intervene as of right and amend in this pending civil action. We have reviewed the record with respect to Miller's appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm in part for the reasons stated by the district court. Combs v. Ashe Cnty., No. 5:14-cv-00136-GCM (W.D.N.C. Nov. 20, 2017). We dismiss in part with respect to appellant Combs because he does not have standing to challenge the denial of Miller's motion to intervene and amend. 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 IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
