Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Appellants Eddie Wise and Dorothy Monroe-Wise appeal the district court’s orders denying their motion for an evidentiary hearing and granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss their civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Wise v. U.S. Dep’t of Agric., No. 4:13-cv-00234-BO (E.D.N.C. Oct. 27, 2014; Aug. 19, 2014). We grant Appellants leave to proceed in forma pauperis but deny their other pending motions. 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
