PER CURIAM:

Michael Eugene Owens appeals the district court’s order

denying Owens’ motion to set aside an arbitration award. We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Owens v. Dillard’s, No. 3:14-cv-00433-FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C. 

Apr. 13, 2016). We deny Owens’ motions to subpoena for 

interrogatories, for production of documents, for a transcript 

at Government expense, and for lay and expert witnesses. We 

grant Dillard’s motion to strike Owens’ press release and deny 

Dillard’s motion for sanctions. 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
