PER CURIAM:

               Cecile M. Lescs appeals the district court’s orders

granting the motion to dismiss her civil action, denying her motion

for summary judgment, and denying her motion for reconsideration.

We   have     reviewed   the    record   and   find    no     reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the

district court.*       See Lescs v. Martinsburg Police Dep’t, No. CA-03-

7-3 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 26, 2004 & June 25, 2004).                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




       *
      We note that while the district court did not err in
dismissing the complaint for failure to effect proper service of
process, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(5), and that “a failure to
obtain proper service on the defendant deprives the court of
personal jurisdiction over the defendant,” Koehler v. Dodwell, 152
F.3d 304, 306 (4th Cir. 1998), insufficient service would not
deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction. See Mississippi
Publ’g Corp. v. Murphree, 326 U.S. 438, 445 (1946).
