Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). * The opinion is filed by a quorum pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d) 1994). 2 PER CURIAM: Eddie Bradford Lee, William Sanford Gadd, and Kathy Carol Moore appeal the district court’s order dismissing their civil complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Lee v. Mullen, No. CA-99- 180-T-3 (W.D.N.C. Sept. 3, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 3
