PER CURIAM:

Anthony Zappin appeals the district court’s orders (a) accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation to grant Defendants’ motions to dismiss Zappin’s

civil rights and state law abuse of process claims and for a prefiling injunction

against Zappin; and (b) denying Zappin’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.

Zappin v. Ramey, No. 3:22-cv-00080 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 2, 2023; June 20, 2023). 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
