PER CURIAM:
Anthony J. Rankine appeals the district court’s order:
granting Kako Rankine and the Third Party Defendants’ motions to
dismiss; granting the motions for sanctions but deferring a ruling
on the amount of sanctions; dismissing Anthony Rankine’s complaint
and amended complaint; deferring a ruling on the motion for costs
and attorney’s fees; denying as moot Kako Rankine’s and the Third
Party Defendants’ remaining motions; remanding the matter to the
state court; and imposing an injunction on Anthony Rankine. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Rankine v. Rankine, No. CA-01-79-5-V (W.D.N.C. Feb. 12,
2002). We deny Rankine’s motion to stay. 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
