Stone, WILLIAMS MULLEN, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Lynton Ballentine appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Ballentine v. James B. Nutter & Co., No.

3:15-cv-00496-FDW-DSC (W.D.N.C. June 1, 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
