No. 18-1315

Decided: July 20, 2018

Before WILKINSON, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Burl Anderson Howell, Alice A. Howell, Appellants Pro Se. Scott Christopher Hart, SUMRELL, SUGG, CARMICHAEL, HICKS & HART, PA, New Bern, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Burl Anderson Howell and Alice Annette Howell appeal the district court's orders denying their motions, granting Defendants’ motions, and dismissing their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Howell v. Wood, No. 5:17-cv-00093-BO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 16, 2018; Dec. 21, 2017; filed Sept. 9, 2017, entered Sept. 11, 2017). 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Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
