Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Robert L. Perkins appeals the magistrate judge’s* order
granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate
judge’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. See Perkins v.
Watson, No. CA-04-988-1-RAE (M.D.N.C. June 17, 2005). 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
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
