        PER CURIAM:

               Suzanne Fox Popper, as executrix of the Estate of Janice Fox, appeals the district

        court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Popper’s claims for breach of

        contract and violation of North Carolina’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. We

        have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district

        court’s order.   Popper v. Hartford Fin. Servs. Grp., Inc., No. 7:22-cv-00148-D-RN

        (E.D.N.C. Apr. 18, 2023). 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

                                                    2
