PER CURIAM:

      Harold H. Hodge, Jr., and Chante’ N. Hodge appeal from the

district court’s orders granting the Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6)

motions of Defendants and dismissing the Hodges’ civil action

and   denying     their        Fed.   R.   Civ.   P.   59(e)   motion.        We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                      Accordingly,

we    affirm     for     the    reasons     stated     by   the    district    court.

Hodge v. Coll. of S. Md., No. 8:14-cv-02829-DKC (D. Md. Aug. 3 &

Sept. 4, 2015). *          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 also reject as without merit the Hodges’ appellate
challenge to the district court’s failure to recuse itself.
See United States v. Cherry, 330 F.3d 658, 665 (4th Cir. 2003).
