PER CURIAM:

            H. Richard Austin appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his claims against all defendants.               We have reviewed

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

for the reasons stated by the district court.           Austin v. Douglas

G. Peterson & Assocs., No. 5:11-cv-00373-BR (E.D.N.C. Dec. 1,

2011).     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
