PER CURIAM:
Rhonda T. Brantley and Shelia L. Bracato appeal the
district court’s orders dismissing these actions for failure to
timely effect service of process. We have reviewed the records
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Brantley v. Ethicon,
Inc., Nos. 2:12-cv-02605, 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 25,
2016); Bracato v. Ethicon, Inc., Nos. 2:12-cv-02697,
2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 25, 2016). 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
