Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Rhonda T. Brantley and Shelia L. Bracato appeal the district court’s orders dismissing these actions for failure to timely effect service of process. We have reviewed the records and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Brantley v. Ethicon, Inc., Nos. 2:12-cv-02605, 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 25, 2016); Bracato v. Ethicon, Inc., Nos. 2:12-cv-02697, 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 25, 2016). 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
