PER CURIAM:

      Tommy Ray Combs and Florence Combs Miller appeal the district court’s order

affirming the magistrate judge’s order denying Miller’s motion to intervene as of right

and amend in this pending civil action. We have reviewed the record with respect to

Miller’s appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm in part for the

reasons stated by the district court. Combs v. Ashe Cnty., No. 5:14-cv-00136-GCM

(W.D.N.C. Nov. 20, 2017). We dismiss in part with respect to appellant Combs because

he does not have standing to challenge the denial of Miller’s motion to intervene and

amend. 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 IN PART;
                                                                DISMISSED IN PART
