PER CURIAM:

Thomas J. Ayers appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to

compel arbitration, dismissing his civil action, and ordering that he arbitrate his claims.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order. Ayers v. Markiewicz, No. 5:23-cv-00442-D-BM (E.D.N.C. May 9,

2024). 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
