PER CURIAM:
These consolidated appeals arise out of a series of
lawsuits stemming from multiple incidents that involved
Appellants Mark Levy and Stanley Levy, police officers, a city
code enforcement officer, and numerous other city officials.
The Levys asserted causes of action for malicious prosecution,
violation of state constitutional rights, false imprisonment,
violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006), violations of the civil
Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), 18
U.S.C. § 1961 (2006), trespass to land, trespass to chattels,
civil conspiracy, malicious use of process, and vicarious
liability. In appeal No. 10-2009, the Levys appeal the district
court’s order granting partial summary judgment to defendants,
granting defendants’ motion to exclude the Levys’ expert
witnesses, and denying their motion for leave to file a second
amended complaint; the court’s subsequent order denying their
motion for reconsideration; and the court’s judgment entered
after a jury verdict for the defendants. In appeal No. 10-2011,
Mark Levy appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
complaint.
We have thoroughly reviewed the extensive record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially
for the reasons stated by the district court. Levy v. City of
New Carrolton, Nos. 8:06-cv-02598-DKC; 8:06-cv-03304-DKC; 8:09-
3
cv-02552-DKC (D. Md. Mar. 17, 2009; June 11, 2009; July 30,
2010; Aug. 11, 2010). 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
