Before WILKINSON, KING, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Giraud Howard Hope, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Giraud Howard Hope appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action

for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Hope v. Dep’t of Health

& Human Servs., No. 3:20-cv-00068-RJC-DSC (W.D.N.C. June 17, 2020). 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
