PER CURIAM:

       Iris McClain appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to

dismiss her civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and perceive no reversible

error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. With the parties’

consent, we dismiss the Appellees identified in the joint stipulation. We affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.      McClain v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No.

8:17-cv-01094-TDC (D. Md. Mar. 8, 2018). * 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

       *
         We find no merit to McClain’s contentions on appeal that the district court was
biased against her and that the court’s determinations were tainted by a mistaken view of
the facts.

                                            3
