PER CURIAM:

John Marvin Ballard appeals the district court’s order 

granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss his malpractice action 

against Defendant. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s 

judgment. Ballard v. Plaud, No. 5:13-ct-03104-H (E.D.N.C. 

Feb. 3, 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
