PER CURIAM:

Sherif Philips, MD, appeals the district court’s order dismissing for failure to state

a claim on which relief can be granted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) his complaint alleging

claims arising from the suspension of his physician hospital privileges and his challenges

pertaining to subsequent litigation. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny Philips’s motions for a stay pending appeal and to set aside

the judgment, to consolidate and/or transfer his appeals, and to set aside the judgment and

vacate orders, and we affirm the district court’s order. Philips v. Pitt Cnty. Mem’l Hosp.,

No. 4:24-cv-00098-FL (E.D.N.C. Sept. 12, 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
