PER CURIAM:

Derek & Matthew Bissette Farms, Brantley Farms, Inc., ERW

Farms, LLC, Nichols & Nichols Farms, Inc., and Rock Ridge Farms

Partnership appeal from the district court’s order affirming the

bankruptcy court’s order dismissing their complaint filed in the

underlying bankruptcy proceeding, seeking to assert certain

rights under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, 7

U.S.C. §§ 499a-499t (2012). We have reviewed the record included 

on appeal, as well as the parties’ briefs, and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the 

courts below. Derek & Matthew Bissette Farms v. Bissett Produce, 

Inc., No. 5:14-cv-00451-FL (E.D.N.C. Feb. 2, 2015). 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
