No. 04-1888.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: Dec. 17, 2004.
Decided: Jan. 12, 2005.
Cecile M. Lescs, Appellant pro se.
Tracey Brown Eberling, Steptoe & Johnson, Martinsburg, West Virginia, for Appellees.
Before WILKINSON, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Cecile M. Lescs appeals the district court's orders granting the motion to dismiss her civil action, denying her motion for summary judgment, and denying her motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See Lescs v. Martinsburg Police Dep't, No. CA-03-7-3 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 26, 2004 & June 25, 2004). 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
We note that while the district court did not err in dismissing the complaint for failure to effect proper service of process, see Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(5), and that "a failure to obtain proper service on the defendant deprives the court of personal jurisdiction over the defendant," Koehler v. Dodwell, 152 F.3d 304, 306 (4th Cir.1998), insufficient service would not deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction. See Mississippi Publ'g Corp. v. Murphree, 326 U.S. 438, 445, 66 S.Ct. 242, 90 L.Ed. 185 (1946).
