2 PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from the district court’s order

denying a motion to lift the stay imposed in the underlying

Receivership. We have reviewed the record included on appeal,

as well as the parties’ briefs, and find no abuse of discretion

by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Belsome v. Burks, No. 3:12-cv-

00800-GCM (W.D.N.C. Dec. 30, 2013). 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
