Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Joseph Johnson, John C. Poteat, Lynette Everett, Lamont D. Jackson, Marshall E.

Gwynn, and Erika Bannister appeal the district court’s order granting the Maryland Transit

Administration’s motion to dismiss their claims brought under the Fair Labor Standards

Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219, on sovereign immunity grounds. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Johnson v. Md. Transit Admin., No. 1:18-cv-03768-CCB (D. Md. filed July 19,

2019 & entered July 22, 2019). 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
