PER CURIAM:

Joseph B. Lambert appeals the district court’s order 

granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and denying Lambert’s 

motion to amend his complaint as futile. We have reviewed the 

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

the reasons stated by the district court. Lambert v. 

Mecklenburg Cty., No. 3:15-cv-00577-GCM (W.D.N.C. June 2, 2016). 

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
