PER CURIAM:

             Valerie      Hester    appeals      the    district       court’s      order

granting     the    Defendants’         motion    to    dismiss       and    dismissing

Hester’s    complaint      without      prejudice      for   failure        to   properly

serve process on the Defendants.                 We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.                  Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons    stated    by    the   district      court.        Hester    v.    Armstrong,

No. 5:07-cv-00458-H (E.D.N.C. June 19, 2008).                     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
