Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Thomas H. McCorkle, Jane Ann McCorkle, and J. C. McCorkle
appeal the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s
order dismissing their complaint for failure to effect service of
process as required by Fed. R. Bankr. 7004; Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).
Our review of the record and the opinions below discloses no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. McCorkle v. Pierson, Nos. CA-00-437; BK-93-20367;
AP-99-36 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 13, 2000). The Appellants have filed a
Motion for Order Permitting Reply Brief. Because they have not
proffered the reply brief, and because the allegations in the
motion do not warrant relief, we deny the motion. See 4th Cir. R.
28(b). 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
