PER CURIAM:

Appellants Eddie Wise and Dorothy Monroe-Wise appeal

the district court’s orders denying their motion for an 

evidentiary hearing and granting the Defendants’ motion to 

dismiss their civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and 

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. See Wise v. U.S. Dep’t of 

Agric., No. 4:13-cv-00234-BO (E.D.N.C. Oct. 27, 2014; Aug. 19, 

2014). We grant Appellants leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

but deny their other pending motions. 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
