PER CURIAM:

Lynton Ballentine appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter 

jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Ballentine v. James B. Nutter & Co., No. 

3:15-cv-00496-FDW-DSC (W.D.N.C. June 1, 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
