PER CURIAM:

Sharon Weer and Thomas Weer appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing this action without prejudice because the Weers 

failed to timely effect service of process. We have reviewed 

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm 

for the reasons stated by the district court. Weer v. Ethicon, 

Inc., Nos. 2:13-cv-03792; 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. July 23, 

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
