PER CURIAM:

            Roderico     Ramirez       Rodriguez     appeals      the     district

court’s order dismissing his civil complaint for lack of subject

matter     jurisdiction        under        the     doctrine      of     consular

nonreviewability and for failure to state a claim.                        We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                  Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                   Ramirez

Rodriguez v. Clinton, * Case No. 5:12-cv-00252-BR (E.D.N.C. Jan.

22, 2013).      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

     *
       On appeal, John F. Kerry has been substituted for his
predecessor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as Secretary of State. See
Fed. R. App. P. 43(c)(2).
