PER CURIAM:
Joseph Johnson, John C. Poteat, Lynette Everett, Lamont D. Jackson, Marshall E.
Gwynn, and Erika Bannister appeal the district court’s order granting the Maryland Transit
Administration’s motion to dismiss their claims brought under the Fair Labor Standards
Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219, on sovereign immunity grounds. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Johnson v. Md. Transit Admin., No. 1:18-cv-03768-CCB (D. Md. filed July 19,
2019 & entered July 22, 2019). 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
