PER CURIAM:

      James B. Spencer and the Estate of Doris E. Holt appeal the district court’s orders

adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing the claims against

some of the Appellees for failure to effect service of process, adopting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing the remaining claims with

prejudice, and denying reconsideration.    We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Spencer v. South Carolina, No. 3:11-cv-00977-MGL (D.S.C. Aug. 30, 2012; Sept. 19,

2013; Jan. 31, 2014; Mar. 1, 2018; & May 16, 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
