PER CURIAM:

            Robert B. Curington and Ashley Brooks Music appeal the

district court’s orders dismissing their copyright infringement

suit and awarding attorney’s fees and costs to the Defendants,

pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 505 (2006).               We have reviewed the record

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

reasons     stated    by   the   district        court.    Curington    v.    UMG

Recordings, Inc., No. 1:10-cv-00890-CCE-PTS (M.D.N.C. Aug. 12,

2011;     Dec.   2,   2011).         We   deny     Appellants’    motions     for

appointment of counsel and 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

                                          3
