                                 2
PER CURIAM:

      The Appellants in these consolidated appeals seek to appeal

the   district   court’s      orders    affirming      the    bankruptcy       court’s

orders     dismissing      each   of    the    three       underlying        adversary

proceedings for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.                        Because we

find that the proceedings were not “related to” the Chapter 11

bankruptcy case in which they were filed, see Valley Historic

Ltd. P’ship v. Bank of N.Y., 486 F.3d 831, 835 (4th Cir. 2007),

we    affirm   for   the      reasons   stated       by    the     district     court.

Grathwol v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Ann F. Grathwol

Living Trust v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Legacy Group

of NC, Inc. v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc., Nos. 7:14-cv-

00082-F;    7:14-cv-00083-F;       7:14-cv-00084-F           (E.D.N.C.       Jan.   12,

2015).     We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal    contentions    are     adequately     addressed         in   the    materials

before   the   court    and    argument      would   not     aid      the   decisional

process.
