Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

The Appellants in these consolidated appeals seek to appeal

the district court’s orders affirming the bankruptcy court’s

orders dismissing each of the three underlying adversary

proceedings for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because we

find that the proceedings were not “related to” the Chapter 11

bankruptcy case in which they were filed, see Valley Historic

Ltd. P’ship v. Bank of N.Y.,

486 F.3d 831, 835

(4th Cir. 2007),

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Grathwol v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Ann F. Grathwol

Living Trust v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Legacy Group

of NC, Inc. v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc., Nos. 7:14-cv-

00082-F; 7:14-cv-00083-F; 7:14-cv-00084-F (E.D.N.C. Jan. 12,

2015). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately addressed in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
