Roger Byrd and Herman Junior Byrd appeal the district court’s order denying *361 their motions for judicial notice and to join the defendants. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Byrd v. United States, No. CA-04-77 (W.D.N.C. July 7, 2004). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
