Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

H. Richard Austin appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his claims against all defendants. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. Austin v. Douglas

G. Peterson & Assocs., No. 5:11-cv-00373-BR (E.D.N.C. Dec. 1,

2011). 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
