Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Chester Lee McDowell, Sr. appeals the district court’s

order granting defendants’ motions to dismiss and dismissing his

complaint for lack of jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim

upon which relief may be granted.   We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. See McDowell v. Internal Revenue

Service, No. 2:06-CV-00022-FL (E.D.N.C. Mar. 26, 2007).    We also

deny the Government’s motion for sanctions. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
