DIANA GRIBBON MOTZ, Circuit Judge: The plaintiffs in these consolidated cases appeal the district court’s denial of their motions to amend their complaints and the dismissal of their actions. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and the district court’s reasoning, and we detect no error. See J.A.

657-672. Therefore, we affirm on the basis of the reasons given in the district court’s opinion. See also Lydick v. Erie Ins. Prop. & Cas. Co., 778 F. App’x 271 (4th Cir. 2019).

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
