2 PER CURIAM:

Martha M. Stevenson and James Stevenson appeal the district

court’s orders dismissing this action for failure to timely

effect service of process and denying their motion for

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Stevenson v. Ethicon, Inc., Nos. 2:12-

cv-02700; 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 26, 2016; May 27,

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
