PER CURIAM:

Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district court’s 

order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss

her civil complaint against Defendants, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). Assa’ad-Faltas has also filed motions for 

injunctive relief pending appeal and to exceed the length 

limitations for her informal brief. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant 

Assa’ad-Faltas’s motion to exceed the length limitations for her 

informal brief, we deny her motions for injunctive relief pending 

appeal and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. 

Assa’ad-Faltas v. Carter, No. 1:14-cv-00678-CCE-LPA (M.D.N.C. Oct. 

21, 2014). 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
