PER CURIAM:

James E. Becker, president of Beck Electric Co., Inc.,1

appeals the magistrate judge’s2 order granting in part and denying

in part plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiff’s

claim for breach of an indemnity agreement, denying plaintiff’s

motion to strike Becker’s affidavit submitted in opposition to the

motion for summary judgment, denying Becker’s “Motion for Judicial

Notice of Adjudicative Facts,” and awarding plaintiff attorneys’

fees. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate

judge. See New York Marine & Gen. Ins. Co. v. Becker, No. 3:05-cv00373 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 16, 2007). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
